Global immunisation monitoring in times of drastic cutbacks
Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases are increasing at a time when funding for immunisation programmes is being cut.
News
Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of an intranasal neuraminidase-based influenza vaccine with bacterial cell membrane-derived adjuvants
Recombinant neuraminidase (NA) has emerged as an antigenically conserved intranasal vaccine candidate, capable of inducing broad cross-protection, but it requires effective mucosal adjuvants.

How governments influence public health research: a scoping review
Governments can become involved in academic research to assist in public health decision-making. However, when governments become involved, the research process can be influenced away from academic research practices, jeopardizing research integrity.

ESWI networks & communities

Influenza Diabetes Community

The Influenza Diabetes Community (IDC) unites scientists, healthcare professionals, patient -and other stakeholder organisations to discuss, share best practices and to network with the objective to raise awareness of the burden of influenza, Covid-19 and RSV in people living with diabetes.

Early Career Scientists Network

Some of the best and most innovative ideas come from early career scientists, they are the future of the influenza field. For this reason, ESWI has been actively encouraging the careers of early career scientists for many years.
