The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has published a report today highlighting the threat of increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
ECDC is monitoring reports from three countries (France, the United Kingdom and the United States) of cases of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) associated with travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
European Immunization Week (EIW) is marked across Europe every year in the final week of April. It aims to raise awareness of the importance of immunisation for the general health and well-being of the European and wider population.
In connection with the European Immunization Week, ECDC releases data indicating an increase in cases of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and pertussis, after decreased levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This report collects all COVID-19 long-term care facilities (LTCF) data reported to ECDC from 2021 and concludes the EU/EEA LTCF COVID-19 specific surveillance data collection from 2021-2023.
This report presents pooled COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for the first, second and third booster doses (compared to complete primary vaccination with no booster) against hospitalisation due to COVID-19 and COVID-19-related death in resident populations ≥50 years of age living in the community.
In this report, we present an update of the 2020 primary systematic review, to take into account more recent evidence on the efficacy, effectiveness and safety of newer and/or enhanced seasonal influenza vaccines for the prevention of laboratory-confirmed influenza in individuals aged 18 years and over.
