National AMR action plans and immunization programmes: key policy priorities in the fight against AMR

A multi-faceted strategy is needed to successfully manage AMR, a silent pandemic that threatens our ability to treat common infections. Vaccines are critical in helping to combat the growing crisis. The upcoming revision of the Council Recommendations on AMR provides a great opportunity to update European policy.

The issue

Anti-microbial resistance (AMR) is a silent pandemic that is estimated to cause approximately 33,000 deaths each year in Europe. A multi-faceted strategy is needed to successfully manage AMR. An abundance of evidence demonstrates that vaccines are critical in helping to combat the growing AMR crisis, by helping prevent both bacterial and viral diseases, as well as commonly-acquired bacterial infections, including hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).

The upcoming revision of the Council Recommendations on AMR provides a great opportunity to update European policy recommendations and incorporate best practice based on lessons learnt over the last two decades.
