External researchers given access to CDC data.(Brief Article)
2002 OCT 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Immunization Program, and its managed care partners, have announced that researchers will be allowed access to data collected by the CDC's Vaccine Safety Datalink Project (VSD).
Researchers will now be able to independently analyze immunization safety data.
The VSD was established to allow CDC to carefully monitor vaccine safety in the United States. The VSD, a large-linked database, contains medical and immunization information on more than 7 million people. Information available in the database includes the date of birth, dates of vaccination, and medical visits. The VSD is a collaborative project involving CDC and several large managed care organizations (MCOs).
Information from the VSD is used by CDC to conduct vaccine safety studies. With the development of this new data-sharing process, external researchers may now also use VSD data.
