R to @ECDC_EU: The increased levels of #pertussis can be linked to a number of factors, including expected epidemic peaks, individuals who are not vaccinated or who don’t have up-to-date vaccinations, waning immunity, and decreased natural boosting in the overall population during the pandemic.

R to @ECDC_EU: In addition, #pertussis immunisation during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy is highly effective in preventing disease and death amongst newborns that are still too young to be vaccinated.
[2024-05-08 11:23 UTC]
R to @ECDC_EU: Public health authorities are encouraged to strengthen vaccination programmes to achieve and sustain high vaccination coverage.

R to @ECDC_EU: Infants under six months, unimmunised or partially immunised, face the highest risk of severe disease outcomes, with the majority of #pertussis-related hospitalisation and deaths occurring in this vulnerable age group.

R to @ECDC_EU: #Pertussis - an endemic disease in the EU/EEA and worldwide that causes larger epidemics every three-to-five years even in countries with high vaccination coverage, remains a significant public health challenge.

RT by @ECDC_EU: What is the #OneHealth approach?
Europe is facing increasingly complex threats to our #health & wellbeing. They are also interconnected with the health of animals, plants and wider ecosystems.
5 EU agencies are working together to respond to the threats: https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/topics/at-a-glance/health/one-health

RT by @ECDC_EU: Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest public health treats of our time.
Under the ‘One World, One Health’ principle, the 🇧🇪 Presidency co-hosts a cross-sectoral conference for stakeholders to exchange knowledge and develop a plan of action to combat #AMR effectively.

R to @ECDC_EU: Early testing for the timely diagnosis of respiratory viral infections followed by the application of transmission-based precautions as well as, during periods of high prevalence of respiratory viral infections in the community, considering universal masking is also key.
[2024-05-06 11:14 UTC]
R to @ECDC_EU: More complex interventions such as ensuring an adequate number of single rooms and specialised infection prevention and control personnel, also play a crucial role in preventing the healthcare-associated infections.
[2024-05-06 11:14 UTC]
R to @ECDC_EU: At least 20% of #HAI are deemed preventable by sustained & multifaceted infection prevention and control programmes (IPCs).
Simple measures such as hand hygiene & ensuring that alcohol-based hand rub dispensers are available at the bedside, may decrease the number of infections.
[2024-05-06 11:14 UTC]
R to @ECDC_EU: An increase was observed for #antimicrobial use compared to previous surveys. On any given day in the EU/EEA, approximately 390K hospitalised patients receive at least 1 antimicrobial agent.
1/3 microorganisms detected in #HAI were bacteria resistant to important antibiotics.
