Abstract
High rates of antimicrobial prescribing for children, combined with widespread misunderstanding among the general public about the appropriate use of antibiotics, are major causes for concern. European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD) is an annual event that aims to raise awareness of how to use antibiotics in a responsible way that will help keep them effective for the future. As part of EAAD 2013, this article provides an overview of some initiatives aimed at limiting the extent of inappropriate antibiotic use in children.
Keywords: antimicrobial prescribing; education; school children.
