As autumn moves to winter, the WHO/Europe, EC and ECDC are issuing a clear, urgent message: people who remain unprotected against both COVID-19 and seasonal influenza – especially the most vulnerable and at-risk – should take up any offer for vaccination to prevent or mitigate the impact of these co-circulating respiratory infections.
Today, ECDC Director Andrea Ammon and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Acting Executive Director Luc Tytgat signed the EASA-ECDC Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Seven nominated experts – Observer NFPs from the Western Balkans and Türkiye - attended the annual meeting of ECDC’s NFPs for Preparedness and Response, and for Threat detection, EWRS and IHR. The meeting took place in Stockholm, Sweden.
