The increase in cases of measles, a highly contagious, but vaccine-preventable disease, is a stark reminder that all Member States should maximise efforts to achieve and maintain high vaccination coverage for all vaccine-preventable diseases.
This short, self-paced e-learning module will complement a project developed by ECDC in 2023 on vaccine acceptance (Effective communication around the benefit and risk balance of vaccines). The course will be based on the final outputs of the project. It will synthesise project findings and showcase identified good practices in vaccine communications.
This is a self paced e-learning course to be taken by participants in an asynchronous fashion with the objective of transmitting basic knowledge about how ECDC conducts its EI activities.
An e-learning course aimed at understanding and addressing online vaccination misinformation. It is designed to support public health practitioners and risk communicators in fighting the spread of vaccination misinformation on social media and other digital platforms.

This protocol presents a common updated methodology to estimate vaccine effectiveness (VE) for COVID-19, using established health data registries in participating European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries.
This joint guidance by the ECDC and EMCDDA aims to strengthen the evidence base for developing national strategies for preventing and controlling infections and infectious diseases among people who inject drugs.
