The aim of the Bavarian immunisation concept is the effective implementation of national vaccination recommendations taking into account known characteristics in Bavaria and social groups with limited access to vaccinations. Furthermore, it intends to coordinate the various players in the field of vaccine-prevention of disease. Key points of this concept are, among others, improvement of the available data, definition of vaccination aims, implementation of vaccination recall systems during the regular examination on entering primary and secondary school, coordination and enforcement of vaccination campaigns in schools as well as steps for the qualification and motivation of the physicians involved in vaccination. In addition, an independent committee for the coordination of professionals and institutions participating in vaccine prevention in Bavaria was created. This "Bayerische Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Impfen (LAGI)", which was established at the end of 2006 includes representatives from medical associations and corporations, health insurance companies and public health agencies and is the key for the realisation and further development of this concept.
