VHPB is supported by unrestricted grants from the vaccine industry (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Sanofi Pasteur MSD, and in the past Merck Vaccine Division), several universities in Europe and other institutions. The VHPB has also received support from the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) and the Children's Vaccine Program at PATH for its activities in CEE and NIS.
The executive VHPB secretariat benefits from being seated at the unit of Epidemiology and Social Medicine of the University of Antwerpen, where it has the infrastructure and administrative services of the University at its disposal.
For the VHPB and its members strict operational and scientific independence is essential.
Board members and invited experts get only travel and subsistence reimbursed according to the University Rules, no honorary or other forms of remuneration are provided.
