The first European Communicable Disease Epidemiological Report produced by ECDC raised that the most important disease threat in Europe is posed by the micro-organisms that have become resistant to antibiotics.
This surveillance report was prepared by EUVAC.net, which is a European surveillance network for vaccine-preventable diseases. The network collects data on surveillance systems and selected epidemiological characteristics of vaccine preventable diseases in the EU and other participating countries. It is jointly funded by ECDC and the Statens Serum Institut (Denmark).
