This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 10 October – 16 October 2021 and includes updates on COVID-19, West Nile virus, measles, Ebola, polio and influenza.

On October 15, ECDC published the report “Facilitating COVID-19 vaccination acceptance and uptake in the EU/EEA” which aims to further support Member States in identifying barriers to the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination, and designing and implementing interventions aimed at increasing vaccination coverage.

This technical report presents considerations for European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries when diagnosing barriers to acceptance and uptake of COVID-19 vaccination, and designing and implementing interventions to increase uptake.

This infographic shows the barriers to the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination.
