Preventing these infections through a proper vaccination strategy is essential for promoting healthy ageing. The VITAL project will map the burden of vaccine-preventable infectious diseases in the elderly, and investigate vaccinations and immunity to infections in the ageing population. The team will also calculate the clinical and economic consequences of possible vaccination strategies in different age and risk groups, and develop educational materials for stakeholders such as healthcare providers. Ultimately, by addressing the challenge of infectious diseases in the elderly, the VITAL project will contribute to better health for the ageing populations, and a reduced burden on healthcare systems.</p>
