    Pregnant women may safely receive inactivated vaccines, such as Tdap and the flu shot. They share everything with their babies. That means when a pregnant woman gets vaccines, she isn’t just protecting herself— she is giving the baby some early protection too.

    CDC regularly creates reports about the status of COVID-19 vaccine confidence in the United States, emphasizing major themes that influence vaccine confidence and uptake. The reports include analyses of multiple quantitative and qualitative data sources, ranging from social listening and web metrics to immunization survey data and CDC-INFO inquiries. The reports seek to identify emerging issues of misinformation, disinformation, and places where intervention efforts can positively increase vaccine confidence across the United States.

    This programme consists of seven knowledge sessions with accompanying assessments. It is recommended that those new to immunisation complete all seven sessions. Those with prior knowledge and experience in immunisation may wish to read through the relevant knowledge sessions for refresher training or undertake the assessment sessions to check on their knowledge. Learners may also wish to only undertake the sessions relevant to their role. On completion of the knowledge sessions and assessments, users can print a certificate as evidence of the sessions undertaken. A period of supervised practice to allow acquisition and observation of clinical skills and application of knowledge to practice for practitioners new to immunisation is also recommended, as is the completion of an immunisation competency checklist.

    COVAX, the largest and most complex global distribution of vaccines is under way, protecting the most vulnerable from COVID-19, wherever they are in the world. In order to end the acute phase of the pandemic and protect the world against the spread of new variants, the global roll-out must continue at unprecedented speed. The COVAX AMC has raised US$ 9.6 billion to date. This vital funding will enable COVAX to protect almost 30% of the population in 91 lower-income economies. But the COVAX delivery schedule has been hit hard by supply delays, and faces a supply shortfall of 190 million doses. To change the course of the pandemic, plug this short-term gap and help ensure equitable access to vaccines through COVAX: o Countries that have doses need to share them now – not later, when countries’ demand and ability to absorb doses will be met by hundreds of millions of doses that will be available through COVAX Facility deals. o Manufacturers need to prioritise COVAX. o Multilateral development banks must urgently release the funds to pay for health system preparedness to ensure countries can absorb the doses delivered. We call on the international community to reaffirm its support for the COVAX AMC and act urgently as One World Protected: Committed to Deliver.

    A vaccine to prevent COVID-19 is likely to be the most effective way to control the pandemic. Scientists across the world have worked to develop vaccines which have then been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy. Those with a role in delivering/supporting the COVID-19 vaccine programme need to be knowledgeable, confident and competent in order to promote confidence in the vaccination programme and deliver the vaccine safely. The purpose of this pack is to ensure you have all the resources and information you need to hand, acting as a ‘go to guide’ to support you when talking with patients who are eligible for a Covid-19 vaccination but are showing signs of hesitancy. People may be concerned about or refusing the vaccine due to worries, fears, unclear about messages or for many other reasons. It’s important to understand that people will have their point of view and it may take time to talk through their concerns. Using Motivational Interviewing techniques, listening skills and sharing factual information about Covid-19 and the vaccine may help to encourage people and offer reassurance.

    La pandémie de Covid-19 ayant causé plus de 100 millions de cas et plus de 2,3 millions de morts à l’échelle mondiale, la publication des résultats des études pivot des premiers candidats-vaccins contre la Covid-19 a été une source d’espoir pour la communauté internationale. De nombreux pays ont rapidement initié une campagne vaccinale contre la Covid19 ; plus de 150 millions de doses ont été administrées dans le monde au 12 février 2021 (https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations). De nombreuses questions ont été soulevées en France, à la fois par les décideurs en Santé publique, mais aussi très vite par les soignants et acteurs de terrain, en charge d’informer la population, de définir et repérer les personnes prioritaires et de mettre en place la campagne vaccinale en France. Devant cette demande forte d’éclairage simple et objectif des données disponibles, la Société de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Française (SPILF) a été sollicitée pour élaborer un document d’information à destination des professionnels de santé.

    La vaccination permet de protéger chacun de nous contre différents microbes (virus et bactéries) à l’origine de maladies infectieuses. On se vaccine pour soi-même, mais aussi pour protéger ses parents, ses enfants, ses proches, ses collègues et les autres membres de la collectivité qui ne peuvent pas être vaccinés parce que malades ou trop jeunes. Les personnes vaccinées contribuent à protéger les non-vaccinées. Ce livret répond à vos questions et peut vous permettre de mieux comprendre l’utilité des vaccins, pour faire reculer – et même disparaître – certaines maladies très graves.
