| Annotation | Progressive changes to the European Union (EU) demographic structure have given impetus to renewed research on more effective and sustainable ways of investing in health and healthy ageing. The role of prevention is paramount in the regard, and it has been suggested that expanding vaccination programmes to embrace the entire life-course could be instrumental in helping to meet disease elimination goals, as well as to maximise opportunities for reducing disease burden in the later years of life. There are nonetheless a number of challenges that will require careful consideration in prioritising vaccination across all age groups, and to develop the necessary evidence that can drive a radical shift.
