VACCELERATE Latest News
Survey to explore the willingness of future physicians and healthcare professionals
VACCELERATE has adapted a survey in an attempt to explore willingness of future physicians and healthcare professionals to contribute to advancements in healthcare by participating in COVID-19 vaccine trials. The objective is to understand the willingness of future healthcare professionals, across Europe, to participate in vaccine trials and provide valuable insights on the mindset of future physicians and healthcare providers.
To date over 600 responses have been recorded with Germany in the lead with 297 responses, followed by Sweden and then Cyprus. Understanding the willingness of this group will provide insights on the concerns and reluctance of participating in vaccine trials.
A press conference will be held on 29th September, 2023, to present the collective results gathered from a questionnaire designed by a collaboration between EUPATI Cyprus and European University Cyprus.

VACCELERATE Volunteer Registry boost in Sweden
The Swedish VACCELERATE team has had a busy time working to engage more individuals in vaccine research. With the aim of boosting the number of registrations in the VACCELERATE registry, an ambitious new communications campaign was rolled out. This targeted a wide spectrum of characteristics and focused on generating a registry of high quality. With the assistance of the CO in Cologne, new materials were designed and printed.
Multiple channels were harnessed, including social media, advertising in private vaccination clinics, and targeted outreach to universities and companies. The result was a more than 300% increase in registrations – from 70 to 231.
Upcoming VACCELERATE Webinar
Topic: VACCELERATE Arzt-Patient:innen Webinar Grippe? Corona? Wer sollte sich impfen lassen und wann? (in German)
Presenter: Prof. Joe Schmitt
Date: 17.10.2023, 19:00 CEST
Only for VACCELERATE Volunteers! More information following soon.
We are very happy to announce that Module I of our Study Nurse Course is now online!
The course is designed for study/research nurses and will provide the needed expertise to conduct a clinical trial in line with the ICH GCP guidelines. Next to the regulatory background, the course also tackles and trains practical aspects necessary for the daily work of a study nurse. A well-trained trial centre is essential for the success of a clinical trial.
The total duration of the complete course (consisting of three modules) will provide learning material of about 30 hours (Module I: 9.5 hours). After each module, a certificate of completion can be downloaded.
More information: https://vaccelerate.eu/academy-2/
On January 25th 2023 the VACCELERATE team from Cyprus joined a EUPATI (https://www.eupati.eu/) meeting to support and enhance the role of patient advocacy groups in vaccine clinical research. They provided a gift with the VACCELERATE educational cards.

Current Project: VACCELERATE Survey on the frequency of viral respiratory diseases in Germany
COVID-19? RS virus? Or influenza? With the cold season, the number of respiratory diseases increases again. We are currently conducting a survey to determine the frequency and distribution of respiratory diseases.
For this purpose, volunteers from our Volunteer Registry are contacted and receive a test kit from us.
The test can detect 5 different viruses and is used if one or more of the following symptoms are present for at least 24 hours: Cough, sore throat, runny nose, difficulty breathing, redness of the eyes, loss of smell or taste and also aching limbs with or without fever.
The test result is reported to the VACCELERATE team by email and evaluated.
Aktuelles Projekt: VACCELERATE Erhebung zur Häufigkeit von viralen Atemwegserkrankungen in Deutschland
COVID-19? RS-Virus? Oder doch Influenza? Mit der kalten Jahreszeit steigt auch die Anzahl von Atemwegserkrankungen wieder an. Aktuell führen wir eine Untersuchung durch, um die Häufigkeit und Verteilung dieser Atemwegserkrankungen in Deutschland festzustellen.
Dazu schreiben wir bei uns registrierte Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer an und senden Interessierten ein Test-Kit zu.
Der Test kann 5 verschiedene Viren nachweisen und sollte durchgeführt werden, wenn für mindestens 24 Stunden Symptome bestehen wie Husten, Halsschmerzen, Schnupfen, Atembeschwerden, Augenrötung, Geruchs- oder Geschmacksverlust oder Gliederschmerzen mit oder ohne Fieber.
Das Testergebnis wird dann dem VACCELERATE Team per E-Mail mitgeteilt und ausgewertet.
