Surveillance of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases3rd
Edition, 2002
The
Manual for the Surveillance of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
provides current guidelines for those directly involved in surveillance
of vaccine-preventable diseases, especially personnel at the
local health departments. For each of the vaccine-preventable
diseases, this manual includes a chapter describing the importance
of rapid case identification; the importance of surveillance;
disease reduction goals; case definitions (including clinical
description and case classifications); epidemiologically important
data to be collected during case investigation; activities for
enhancing surveillance; activities for case investigation; and
activities for outbreak control. Other chapters include information
on surveillance indicators; surveillance data analyses; reporting
adverse events following vaccination; and enhancing surveillance.
In addition, the manual includes a section reserved for insertion
of state-specific guidance for VPD surveillance and extensive
appendices.
This manual is available
only through this website and is no longer offered in a printed
version. Offering the manual online keeps the manual as
current as possible. As changes occur, the chapters will be
replaced with updated versions.
