New #ESWIAirborne podcast 🎙️🦠 Jane Barratt is joined by early career researchers Alina Tscherne (@meduniwien.ac.at) & Valentino D’Onofrio (Ghent University) to understand why responses to the same virus, or vaccine, differ so much - and what this means for future vaccines. eswi.org/activities/p...

The Future of Immunological Medicine: Why Immune Responses Differ | ESWI

A central question explored in this informative episode on immunological medicine is why individuals respond so differently to the same virus, or even the same vaccine.

#ESWISummit💬 "Talk to people about what inspired you here, no exceptions" 📢 A strong call to action from @colinrussell #ESWI Chair reminding us that lasting impact starts with sharing ideas and engaging others ➡️ "It takes a community to create change" #SciencePolicyInterface

🔴#ESWISummit Building #Trust across generations #VaccineHesitancy The person voice & communication 💬 Jane Barratt "Evidence from co-designed interventions shows structural change works: Uptake increase; #misinformation susceptibility; trust in HCPs; & minority community reach"

🔴 Live from #Brussels #ESWISummit Emilie Karafillakis, Vaccine Confidence Project: #Europe has the lowest vaccine confidence. Only 64% of Europeans agree vaccines are safe - #Trust in governments among young people, #Misinformation & #AI are driving this decline. @vaccineconfidence.bsky.social

🔴 Live from #Brussels #ESWISummit Alba Vilajeliu shares @who.int 2030 vision: “a world where everyone, everywhere, of every age, fully benefits from vaccines for good health & well-being”. Emphasises "we all have a part to play" - trust and global collaboration as critical enablers.

🔴 Live from #Brussels #ESWISummit @florian_krammer highlights the need to unite research efforts within a sustainable network to strengthen capacity and ensure long term funding ℹ️ 🔗 eswi.org/education-hu... @ecdc.europa.eu Horizon Europe funding can help support these networks

🔴 Live from #Brussels I #ESWISummit Ab Osterhaus 💬 #hMPV remains underdiagnosed due to limited awareness, restricted access to reliable diagnostics tools, frequent co-infections that obscure its contribution to disease severity #HealthForAll #EUHealth #SciencePolicyInterface

#ESWISummit: “People don’t realise that #Influenza can be as bad as a heart attack”. Fiona Ecarnot, CHU Besaçon highlights how the link between #ChronicDisease and respiratory virus infections “is more than a two way street - it’s a double edged sword”. #ESWI #EUHealth #PublicHealth #CVD
