Despite their key role in building public trust, vaccination uptake among healthcare professionals remains suboptimal. For example, recent data show influenza vaccination rates of around 40–50% among frontline HCWs in England.

This study argues that addressing vaccine hesitancy must begin during training, not only after qualification. Promoting awareness of real (rather than perceived) risks, and reinforcing the benefits of vaccination early on, can help shape long-term behaviours and improve uptake.

Strengthening confidence among healthcare workers is essential, not only for their own protection but also to support informed decisions within the wider community.

Congratulations to the authors on this important publication. Read more at the link or go to the official website.

EuCARE continues to contribute to advancing knowledge and addressing key public health challenges.

The post Two EuCARE abstracts accepted for oral presentation at EBMLive 2026 appeared first on EuCARE.

One of the abstracts, “Gut–Lung Axis Disruption in Long COVID Uncovered by Integrated Immuno-Epithelial-Microbial Profiling”, was presented by Roberta Rovito the Clinic of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine at San Paolo Hospital, University of Milan.

The study highlights how disruption of the gut–lung axis may contribute to the development of Long COVID, showing evidence of lung epithelial damage, microbial translocation, and immune alterations already during the acute phase of infection.

The second abstract, “Immunosuppression and mortality risk among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the EuCARE study” was presented by Björn-Erik Ole Jensen from the University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich Heine University, Duesseldorf, Germany.

This second study tried to investigate if there is still an increased risk of mortality among immunosuppressed individuals hospitalized with COVID-19. The study highlighted that immunocompromising conditions increases in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients, particularly those with pneumonia, even in the Omicron era.

Congratulations to the authors and to all collaborators involved in these important works.
