Over 1–2 October 2008, food- and waterborne disease public health experts from across the European Union met at European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control to discuss the needs for future surveillance of six priority diseases.
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).
