Since 1997, the Public Health Agency of Sweden has conducted an Enhanced pertussis surveillance (EPS) of children with pertussis in Sweden.

The Communicable Diseases Ordinance contains 13 criteria that form the basis of an investigation of vaccination programmes. This knowledge base is a scientific review based on these criteria. 

The recommendations for children up to 12 years of age are primarily aimed at parents and other adults who meet the children in their everyday life.

In a pilot project, the Public Health Agency of Sweden has investigated whether a model with guaranteed reimbursement to the pharmaceutical company can improve access to particularly important antibiotics in Sweden. An initial evaluation shows that the studied reimbursement model led to increased access to the antibiotic products in our country, earlier than in other comparable European countries.

The report presents different models for making available both new antibiotics and old antibiotics where national availability is insufficient. The models should also minimise the risk of resistance development while enabling the best possible care for patients with infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria.
