The online submission of the annual progress report and the registration of new users will be possible starting from 9 March 2026 at the following address: https://eapr.euro.who.int. The completed report is to be submitted online by 31 May 2026 to ensure sufficient time for data analysis by the RCC Secretariat before the analysis and data are presented to the RCC. Should you have any questions or experience any issues with the online submission, or should any further clarification be required, please do not hesitate to contact the RCC Secretariat ([email protected]) in the Vaccine-preventable Diseases and Immunization unit of the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
