ECDC and the WHO Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe) recently concluded a crucial joint meeting focused on enhancing tuberculosis (TB) surveillance and monitoring across the WHO European Region.
This report presents pooled COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for the first, second and third booster doses (compared to complete primary vaccination with no booster) against hospitalisation due to COVID-19 and COVID-19-related death in resident populations ≥50 years of age living in the community.
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) remain prevalent among wild bird populations in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA), leading to significant illness in and death of birds.
This protocol describes the common methodology to be applied to established health data registries across seven participating EU/EEA Member States to estimate vaccine effectiveness for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children and adolescents aged 5-17 years old.
This protocol presents a common updated methodology to estimate vaccine effectiveness (VE) for COVID-19, using established health data registries in participating European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries.
This core protocol for ECDC studies of VE against hospitalisation with SARI laboratory-confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 or with influenza, version 3.0, represents an update to the main elements for a multi-country hospital-based study of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in patients hospitalised with SARI, initially published as version 1.0 [5], updated to version 2.0 [6].
