Immune Patrol game-based education package

Immune Patrol is an education package for 10-12-year-olds developed by WHO/Europe in collaboration with experts in immunology, vaccinology and education. It offers an interactive experience that helps students understand how the immune system works, how vaccines prevent disease transmission and how to recognize misinformation online.

The package was developed for seamless integration in school health curricula at the country level, but it is equally suitable for implementation in individual schools, cities or districts. Immune patrol is readily accessible in many languages, offered free of charge and presented in a comprehensive, well-structured format. This ensures teachers can get started using it right away without any prior knowledge of immunization or vaccine-preventable diseases.

More information and access to the online and offline versions of the package are available on the WHO/Europe website:
