IMPRINT is a network focusing on maternal and neonatal immunisation, funded by the UK’s Medical Research Council (MRC). Its members support challenge-led interdisciplinary research and aim to strengthen capacity for research and innovation within the UK and in low- and middle-income countries. IMPRINT is coordinated by Network Director Prof. Beate Kampmann (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and Co-Director A/Prof. Chrissie Jones (University of Southampton).
IMPRINT brings together people working with PASSION
Since 2017, IMPRINT has built a sustainable network of stakeholders from basic science, immunology, vaccinology, social sciences, industry, public health and national and international policy makers, to tackle the challenges in the best use of vaccines in pregnancy and in newborns, and in the long term to improve maternal and newborn health. With over 400 members from 55 countries that all share the same passion for maternal immunisation, IMPRINT has quickly become a highly productive, multi-disciplinary and innovative network that continues to make an impact.
Why should we vaccinate pregnant women and how do these vaccines work? IMPRINT created several short animations to answer your questions around the main theme of our network.
