New member joins the Cohort Coordination Board: The VEBIS Network

The VEBIS network (Vaccine Effectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies), which joined the Cohort Coordination Board earlier this year, aims to provide technical support to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control to build an infrastructure to allow regular monitoring of COVID-19 and influenza vaccine effectiveness over time, using a multi-country approach. The VEBIS platform includes vaccine effectiveness studies implemented in different settings. The VEBIS studies are implemented through a project led by a Consortium that includes Epiconcept and institutes of public health in Ireland (Health Protection Surveillance Centre), Portugal (Instituto de Salud Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge) and Spain (Instituto de Salud Carlos III and Instituto de Salud Publica y Laboral Navarre).
