About the ReportOlder Europeans are not well vaccinated and therefore not
well protected against vaccine preventable diseases. Identifying and developing strategies for overcoming barriers to vaccination
is therefore an important health policy goal for Europe. In this brief, we summarize the evidence about policies and practices that promote the use of vaccination from
all over the world and identify actions that policy makers should take to improve rates of vaccination and
promote healthy ageing. We articulate four broad policy goals and identify specific actions required to realize
them.
