Abbreviations: –, Data not reported.
Y, yes; N, no; A, aggregated data; C, case‐based data.
Sentinel surveillance; mainly haemolytic‐uraemic syndrome (HUS) cases are notified. Notification rate not calculated.
Sentinel system; notification rates calculated with an estimated population coverage of 97% in 2021–2022. No information on estimated coverage in 2018–2020, so notification rate cannot be estimated.
Cases reported by the United Kingdom for the period 2018–2019 were also considered for this estimation (EU‐28). Data for the United Kingdom were collected for the 2018–2019 period since it was still an EU MS at that time. However, on 1 February 2020, it became a third country.
Switzerland provided the data directly to EFSA. The human data for Switzerland include data from Liechtenstein for years 2018–2020.
