ReCaVIP

Research Group in Catalonia on Pediatric Vaccines and Infections

The Research Group in Catalonia on Pediatric Vaccines and Infections (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 lead to the pediatric population.

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