The AtlasGripal platform is part of a comprehensive educational campaign endorsed by the Ministry of Health and aims to inform the general public and parents about the importance of influenza immunization among children and adolescents.

The launch of the Atlas Gripal educational platform aims to encourage the general public and parents to consult the doctor to make the best decision on influenza vaccination of children and adolescents in the 2020-2021 season. Through interactive content with the support of health professionals, the Atlas Gripal platform aims to become one of the most relevant and important tools in the information process on influenza vaccination in children and adolescents, a safe and powerful source of information, a digital space that provides access to essential information about the flu and immunization against it.

The launch of the Atlas Gripal educational platform and the associated educational campaign is an opportunity to reconfirm our commitment to the community and support for health professionals. The 2020-2021 flu season is part of a much broader, more difficult context that is already putting pressure on global health systems. In this context, the correct information of the general public regarding the influenza vaccination options is of major importance, ”said Radu Rășinar, General Manager of AstraZeneca Romania.
