It-tilqim tat-tfal
It-tilqim hu bla dubju wieħed mill-miżuri l-iktar kost-effettivi tas-saħħa pubblika disponibbli biex jipproteġi liċ-ċittadini kontra l-mard infettiv. Hemm wisq tfal Ewropej li jitqiegħdu f'riskju li jiżviluppaw kumplikazzjonijiet severi minn mard li jista' jiġi evitat permezz ta' tilqim sikur u effettiv.
Dan jiġri minħabba li ma jiġux imlaqqma jew minħabba li ma jispiċċawx il-kors kollu tal-vaċċin. Għalhekk, il-Kummissjoni trid tappoġġa lill-pajjiżi tal-UE biex tiżgura li kemm jista' jkun tfal jirċievu t-tilqim ewlieni tat-tfal. Għal dan il-għan, fl-2011 il-Kummissjoni qed tippjana li tippubblika proposta għal rakkomandazzjoni tal-Kunsill dwar it-tilqim tat-tfal. Ir-rakkomandazzjoni tal-Kunsill se tiżgura li jkun hemm impenn politiku sod mill-Istati Membri biex jiżdiedu l-isforzi u tinżamm kopertura għolja ħafna ta' tfal li jitlaqqmu kontra mard prijoritarju li jista' jiġi evitat permezz tat-tilqim (pereżempju l-ħosba, il-gattone, ir-rubella, id-difterija, is-sogħla konvulżiva, it-tetnu, il-poljo, il-Haemophilus influenzae tat-tip B, l-epatite B). Ir-rakkomandazzjoni tal-Kunsill se tagħti wkoll rakkomandazzjonijiet differenti dwar kif jistgħu jiġu indirizzati l-aħjar ir-raġunijiet ewlenin għalfejn it-tfal ma jiġux imlaqqma.
