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
