Welcome
Paving the way for breakthrough innovation, the ImmuHubs project is
interdisciplinary and intersectoral in its approach, across borders. It is
a bridge among different stakeholders that work towards the same
direction: a sustainable, innovative, culturally sensitive, bottom-up
approach to improve trust and vaccine uptake.
ImmuHubs General Objectives (GO)
GO1
Establish proactive partnerships with citizen groups, public health agencies, key stakeholders and the general public to improve access to vaccination in disadvantaged, isolated, and difficult to reach population groups in 6 European countries, according to best practices for community partnerships.
GO2
Create innovative immunisation actions, which will increase vaccine uptake across borders, generations and population groups.
GO3
Develop sustainable solutions for vaccine protection of EU citizens, including during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
About Us/Brief
The ImmuHubs Project aims to reduce transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases through an increased vaccination uptake among disadvantaged, isolated, and difficult to reach population groups.
The project is co-funded by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency.
The ImmuHubs Consortium is coordinated by the VaccineSafety Initiative (VIVI), a scientific think tank and non-profit research institution based in Berlin, Germany.
We are a partnership of 9 institutions in 6 European Countries from academia and the non-profit sector, as well as public health, professional association, and civic society/patient representation.
We are happy to work with such respected partners!

Innovation - Setting The Tone
