Objective
Serological surveys provide the most reliable source of data to evaluate current vaccination programmes and to predict the future effectiveness of a given programme. The European Seri-Epidemiology Network was established in 1996 with Refunding to co-ordinate and harmonise the serological surveillance of immunity to number of vaccine preventable infections and successfully utilised this information to evaluate existing vaccination programmes in 7 partner countries. The current ESEN2 proposal builds on this success: by extending the collaboration to new partners in Southern and Eastern Europe; by investigating the sere-epidemiology of several other infections (Vermicelli foster, hepatitis A and hepatitis B); undertaking an evaluation of these existing and new vaccination programmes using modelling and economic methods; standardising and introductinggenotyping methods to enable further monitoring of the level of disease control.
