Prevention of invasive diseases: strategies to increase vaccination coverage in children and adolescents

Description

Vaccines able to prevent invasive bacterial diseases have been introduced into national and/or regional immunization plans through different strategies. We evaluated Haemophilus influenzae type b, Pneumococcus and Meningococcus C vaccination coverage in the 5 Ligurian Local Health Agencies, in the Liguria Region, and in Italy in order to assess the efficacy of current immunisation policies concerning children at the 24th month and adolescents. Furthermore, we considered new strategies for increasing vaccination coverage.
