ECDC Virtual Academy (EVA)

Exercise Orange Circle was an ECDC exercise designed to test further ECDC’s mission and build on the ECDC Guiding Principles and Public Health Emergency Operation Plan (PHEOP) for the response to a Vaccine Preventable Disease (VPD) outbreak across the EU.
Exercise Orange Circle was devised and delivered by contractors from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) of the United Kingdom.

An Exercise Planning Group (EPG) was formed, coordinated by staff from the Preparedness and Response Unit (PRU) to provide the exercise designed team from HPA with guidance for the planning, approval of the exercise documentation and exercise conduct. The group had support from staff of the Vaccine Preventable Disease horizontal programme, Health Communication Unit (HCU) and administrative staff of ECDC.
