- The notification rate rose to 1.2 cases per 100 000 population, the highest observed in the past five years, up from 0.9 in 2022 and 0.4 in both 2020 and 2021.
- Age-specific rates remained highest among infants under one year of age (6.41 per 100 000 population), followed by those aged 65 years and older (3.2 per 100 000 population).
- Serotyping data were available for 60% of cases. Among cases with known serotype, non-capsulated strains continued to dominate, accounting for 81% of infections. Serotype f was the most frequent capsulated strain, responsible for 6% (194 cases) of all cases, followed by serotype b 5% (164 cases)
- In 2023, serotype b (Hib) represented 5% of known serotyped cases, reflecting a slight decline from 9.1% in 2022. The low proportion of serotype b (Hib) reported continues to reflect the strong effect of the Hib vaccination programmes in EU/EEA countries.
