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
Europe needs a sustainably funded influenza research and response network | ESWI
Six ESWI Board Members, led by Prof. Florian Krammer, together with a long list of prominent European scientists specialised in virology, immunology and epidemiology, have recently published a comment...

🔴 Live from #Brussels #ESWISummit Debby van Riel, Erasmus MC wraps up the morning: "This is the moment we can step up as #Europe - we have the capacity, the people, and we should be at the forefront” of efforts to tackle respiratory virus infections. @erasmusmc.bsky.social @debbyvanriel.bsky.social
🔴 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
🔴 Live from #Brussels | #ESWISummit Jaroslaw Waligora @EU_Health highlighted the importance of ongoing work on immunisation against #RespiratoryInfections including #RSV #COVID19 #Influenza ➡️ A key contribution to prevention and the EU #SafeHeartsPlan #EUHealth #PublicHealth
Prevention (at last!) against #RSV Peter Openshaw @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social at the #ESWISummit: maternal vaccines + passive immunity + "astonishingly" effective adult vaccines means we can now offer “broad protection”, but a gap remains for protection of toddlers. @peteropenshaw.bsky.social
2026 #ESWISummit kicks off with a keynote from Edoardo Colzani @ecdc.europa.eu - early season vaccine effectiveness estimates = "fundamental". More focus needed on predicting the impact of #Influenza in the coming season + prevention in high risk settings like long term care facilities. #ESWI

What did COVID-19 teach us about vaccine readiness? Hear from Dr. Joseph Bresee, Director of The Task Force's Partnership for International Vaccine Initiatives, on why countries with strong influenza vaccination programs were better prepared to respond — and what that means for the future.
New research from @taskforce.bsky.social's Partnership for International Vaccine Initiatives (PIVI) in collaboration with the CDC uncovered that countries with seasonal influenza vaccination programs reached 46% COVID-19 vaccination coverage in one year! Learn more: pivipartners.org/influenza-va...
