I want to highlight this special publication: In the CPME Public Health and Disease Prevention Session, Professor Heidi Larson, showed the key findings of the 2020 “State of Vaccine Confidence in the EU+UK report” (https://ec.europa.eu/health/vaccination/confidence_en) published by the European Commission and the Vaccine Confidence Project of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in December 2020. CPME members contributed to this study through a survey in spring 2020. There are individual factsheets for many countries for the year 2020 being available for download.
