–: Data not reported.
: Y: yes; N: no; A: aggregated data; C: case‐based data.
: Sentinel system; notification rates calculated with an estimated population coverage of 80% for Belgium.
: The notification rate was not calculated since information on estimated coverage was not available.
: Data not complete in 2020–2021, rate not calculated.
: Cases reported by the United Kingdom for the period 2017–2019 were also considered for this estimation (EU‐28). When the United Kingdom data were collected for the period 2017–2019, the United Kingdom was an EU MS, but it became a third country on 1 February 2020.
: Switzerland provided data directly to EFSA. The human data for Switzerland include data from Liechtenstein for the years 2017–2020.
