Healthcare Professional Education
on Adult Vaccination in Hemoglobinopathies
A multilingual digital learning platform designed to close the documented gap in healthcare professional knowledge on adult vaccination for patients with hemoglobinopathies — including Sickle Cell Disease and thalassemia, the most prevalent forms — across Switzerland, Greece, Belgium, Austria, and Ireland.
The root cause is not patient hesitancy. The 2024 nationwide Greek survey found that healthcare professional guidance failure is the primary driver of inadequate vaccination rates in this high-risk population.
Functional asplenia — present in most patients with Sickle Cell Disease and certain other hemoglobinopathies — creates life-threatening susceptibility to encapsulated bacteria. Respiratory infections are leading precipitants of acute chest syndrome — the primary cause of hospitalisation and mortality. The vaccines exist. The prescriptions are not being made.
A multilingual (English / French / German / Greek) digital learning environment combining adaptive education, artificial intelligence-powered simulation, and community dissemination — freely accessible, no registration required. Preview the platform →
