This is the official YouTube channel of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
Who we are?
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is a public health agency of the European Union (EU), operational since 2005. ECDC’s ambition is to protect over 500 million people from infectious diseases that are mainly caused by parasites and germs (such as viruses, bacteria and fungi). ECDC is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and employs around 400 staff.
What we do?
ECDC collects, analyses and shares data on more than 50 infectious disease topics such as COVID-19, influenza, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, measles, tuberculosis, antimicrobial resistance and vaccination. ECDC experts assess risks to Europe and provide guidance to help countries prevent and respond to outbreaks and public health threats.
Here to promote science and public health online.

On World Cancer Day, listen to the latest episode of our ECDC: On Air podcast as we look at how prevention is changing the story of cervical cancer.
Drawing on both clinical and public health perspectives, Helena de Carvalho Gomes - ECDC's Deputy Head of Unit for Scientific Evidence and Communication and former clinician in obstetrics and gynaecology - reflects on 25 years of progress, from a time when HPV vaccination was only a hope to today, when, alongside screening, vaccination helps prevent millions of women from developing this life-threatening disease.
🎧 Listen to the full episode of ECDC On Air to hear how sustained prevention efforts can help reduce cervical cancer across Europe and bring us closer to a future where this form of cancer can be eliminated.

We have published probably the most important message since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Delta variant is present in Europe and it is much more transmissible and much more of a threat to all of us than the initial SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Remember! ONE DOSE of your two-dose vaccination is not enough to get the maximum protection.
So DO NOT MISS and DO NOT FORGET your second dose of the #COVID19 vaccine.
Only this way we can keep ourselves and our close ones safe.
Be smart. Stay safe. Care about others.

Happy #EuropeDay!
Today we mark the 71st anniversary of the #SchumanDeclaration. Let’s celebrate together peace and solidarity, the two core principles of the declaration!
We are all different in many aspects, but in the end, we are all Europeans - by birth or by heart.
And we are all working hand in hand to fight the #COVID19 pandemic. Hand in hand (metaphorically) as we are only #StrongerTogether.
