COVID-19 pandemic

ECDC is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and assessing the risk to the EU, follow our latest updates

Threat assessment: SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.529

We continue to monitor and assess the spread of Omicron, but there remain a large number of factors that can change the dynamics of the situation

Read the latest news on Omicron

Nearly half a million lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination

A new study published in Eurosurveillance estimates that 470,000 lives have been saved among those aged 60 years and over since the start of COVID-19 vaccination roll-out.

World AIDS Day

This situation is worrying, given that over the last decade new HIV infections have been increasing in the WHO European Region. The latest report suggests that the number of people in the Region living with undiagnosed HIV is on the rise again.

Antimicrobial resistance

One of the biggest threats to public health: when antibiotics lose their ability to kill or stop the growth of bacteria to cure infections. See the latest data and advice related to the spread or occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Immunisation and vaccines

Vaccines help us to protect our health. How do we reach those that do not vaccinate and how do we tackle insufficient vaccination coverage in Europe?

Seasonal influenza

Seasonal influenza is a vaccine-preventable disease that each year infects approximately ten to thirty per cent of Europe's population, and causes hundreds of thousands of hospitalisations across Europe.

HIV infection

Is Europe on track to end HIV? What are the latest epidemiological trends and how do we address gaps in Europe’s HIV response?

Viral hepatitis

ECDC co-ordinates the enhanced surveillance for hepatitis A, B and C to help countries define epidemiological trends or transmission patterns among newly diagnosed cases.
