Considering the extent of these outbreaks, ECDC, in collaboration with the Latvian Public Health authorities, organised an expert consultation in Riga in November 2008, to share experience in response activities to the hepatitis A outbreaks, with a particular focus on vaccination.
Nende puhangute ulatust arvestades korraldas ECDC koostöös Läti tervishoiuasutustega 2008. aasta novembris Riias ekspertide nõupidamise, et jagada A-hepatiidi puhangutele reageerimise kogemusi, keskendudes eelkõige vaktsineerimisele.
