Division Improve control of communicable diseases

The control of communicable diseases requires effective tools to follow and evaluate communicable diseases programmes performance. The following activities aim at better assessing the existing integration and management models and to provide further insight into the resource allocation and commitment of the Member States with regard to tuberculosis.

• F1. . . . .

The control of communicable diseases which can be prevented by vaccination requires a clear idea of vaccination coverage. Assisting in the development of vaccination registers (case-based data including vaccines given, batch numbers, dates of vaccination) is an important field of development which requires close cooperation between Member States' authorities. The ECDC has already been working on this particular issue with Member States.

• Setting up a tool kit for immunisation registries, indicating ways of cooperation with ECDC, and examining the conditions of its transfer, adaptation and use in Member States. The aim is to improve national, regional and local reporting systems on issues related to immunisation using a common tool and thereby facilitate comparison between Member States' immunisation coverage.
