This framework describes the building blocks and actions that ECDC will use to support and EU/EEA countries and the European Commission to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).
In 2022, 27 European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries reported 731 echinococcosis cases. Of these, 299 (41%) cases were reported as Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato, 185 (25%) as E. multilocularis and 247 (34%) as an unknown species.
Pertussis is an endemic disease in the EU/EEA and worldwide. Every three to five years, larger epidemics are expected even with high vaccination coverage.
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.
