Overview
The Vaccinology programme from University of Antwerp and Winter University is of interest to all medical, nursing or midwifery students and postgraduates.
Vaccines are one of the most effective health interventions ever developed. Immunization is a safe and effective way to protect people against several diseases. The risks of these diseases are far greater than the risk of immunization. Immunization coverage remains a matter of concern as long as people are not protected against sometimes fatal complications of infectious diseases.
Good vaccination programmes and well-trained health professionals make a difference! However, vaccinology is a poorly addressed issue during training of future health care workers, leaving many without the necessary skills and knowledge on communication about vaccines and how to administer them.
Learning outcome:
- Knowledge on the basic principles of vaccine-related immunology, epidemiology and the distribution of infectious diseases.
- Knowledge on the types, composition and development of different vaccines.
- Knowledge on vaccine preventable diseases, their prevalence and short- and longterm complications.
- Practical knowledge on vaccination techniques, vaccination storage and reconstitution methods, and what to do with vaccine-related complications.
- Knowledge on the aim of vaccinations and the rationale in difference between national and international vaccination schedules.
- The ability to answer questions regarding vaccine controverse.
