The Manual for the Surveillance of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases provides current guidelines for those directly involved in surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD), 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; enhancing surveillance; laboratory support for surveillance; and reporting adverse events following vaccination. In addition, the manual includes a section reserved for insertion of state-specific guidance for VPD surveillance, as well as extensive appendices.
Updated chapters or appendixes:
- Appendix 20: Varicella Surveillance Worksheet (Ch. 17) — Varicella surveillance worksheets have been revised and added as components of Appendix 20. These worksheets are designed to assist with collection of the surveillance data associated with the varicella HL7 message mapping guide (MMG) for electronic notification to CDC. The 2005 worksheet is presented without annotations, for routine use, and with annotations showing HL7 MMG data element (DE) identifiers that apply for easier mapping into surveillance systems. In addition, the October 2018 worksheets incorporate the additional data elements that are included in the HL7 MMG, one without annotations and one with annotations, again for routine use and for easier mapping into surveillance systems.
