ReCaVIP

Research Group in Catalonia on Pediatric Vaccines and Infections

The Paediatric Vaccines and Infections Research Group in Catalonia (ReCaVIP) is made up of paediatricians and primary care nurses who have previously developed joint projects in the field of child health on infectious diseases, vaccination and aspects related to the consequences that they can have on the paediatric population.

We are interested in the field of infectious diseases, their prevention and clinical, psychological and social impact on children, as they represent a fundamental pillar of the daily practice of primary care paediatrics, both from the point of view of their prevention through vaccination and prophylactic measures and from the purely clinical side.
