ROADMAP FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIONS BY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION BASED ON THE COMMISSION
COMMUNICATION AND THE COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION ON STRENGTHENING COOPERATION AGAINST VACCINE
PREVENTABLE DISEASES
ACTIONS TIMELINES AND DELIVERABLES
Examine the feasibility of developing a common vaccination
card/passport for EU citizens (that takes into account potentially
different national vaccination schedules and), that is compatible
with electronic immunisation information systems and recognised
for use across borders, without duplicating work at national level.

EU vaccination card

for a common
vaccination card/
passport for EU citizens
Produce on a regular basis a Report on the State of Vaccine
Confidence in the EU, to monitor attitudes to vaccination. Based on
that report and taking into account related work by WHO, present
guidance that can support Member States in countering vaccine
hesitancy.
