Dear colleagues,

We hope this email finds you well.

Thank you for submitting 2023 data from your country to TESSy/Epipulse Cases for the vaccine-preventable diseases. We have conducted a validation of the submitted data for these diseases, and are preparing to publish the data in the publicly available Surveillance Atlas for Infectious Diseases.

We kindly ask you to review the data presented in the limited-access version of the Surveillance Atlas (using the link below). If you identify any errors in your data, please upload revised data to Epipulse Cases latest by Thursday 30 January 2025 (end of business) and email us.

Nominated Atlas for IBDs – containing data on pertussis, mumps and tetanus: https://atlas.ecdc.europa.eu/protected/Index.aspx?Dataset=1900

When reviewing data in the Surveillance Atlas, please make your selection from the four drop down lists at the top of the screen and select ‘Load Data’ when the pop-up appears for the system to update the data being displayed on the screen. If you do not select ‘Load data’ the Atlas will continue to display the previous selection.

Please let me know if you have any problems accessing the limited-access surveillance atlas, difficulties meeting the timelines, or any other concerns regarding this request.

Best wishes,

the VPI team
