The scope of this framework contract NP/2020/DPR/23653 is the development of training courses aimed to strengthen the public health capacity in Europe to respond to the challenges encountered in the area of vaccine hesitancy and communication around vaccination.
To this purpose the project will provide the following services:
- Collect and collate existing data available from recent European projects on training needs assessment for courses in vaccinology and vaccine hesitancy, including Covid-19 related vaccine hesitancy.
- Assess selected existing courses on vaccinology and on behaviour change communication around vaccine hesitancy at European and international level in order to avoid duplication or overlap in the curricula design
- Design a comprehensive curriculum and develop the content material for the training on vaccinology (including Covid-19 vaccine) to use as source material for the development of an e-learning course aimed to contribute to the continuing professional development of primary healthcare professionals.
- Design a comprehensive curriculum and develop the content material for the training on “how to train PHC professionals on communicating with caregivers to address vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccination uptake", in short: behaviour change communication about vaccine hesitancy, including Covid-19 related vaccine hesitancy.
