With an emphasis on the concepts of trust and transparency, this guide has been developed to assist those involved in planning and implementing health communication activities to promote immunisation.
This Guidance in Brief is accompanied by a comprehensive guidance document that examines the rationale of all key interventions, and two technical reports that provide the evidence base for this guidance.
The purpose of this document is to describe the data transport format and the procedure for reporting infectious disease surveillance data to ECDC using TESSy.
This handbook is intended to be a resource to encourage planning activities that anticipate and address the possible impact of climate change on communicable disease spread.
The toolkit contains template materials and some suggested key messages for health professionals, ideas for awareness raising activities, and suggested tactics for getting the messages across to both primary care providers and patients regarding prudent use of antibiotics.
ECDC, along with a group of experts (core competencies group) has developed a list of suggested core competencies for field epidemiologists working at all the levels from subnational (provinces, districts, regions) to national and supra-national (European and international) in the public health administrations of the EU.
The toolkit offers template materials and advice on how campaign organisers could engage with the general public so as to promote appropriate and responsible use of antibiotics.
