New CDC Vaccine
Safety Website
[Posted 03/06/2008]
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has launched a new website to help the public better
understand vaccine safety, to provide related
resources, and to discuss public health concerns.
This site offers detailed information, pertinent
links, and a method to report a suspected vaccine
reaction (part of the CDC Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System).
This site also “informs CDC partners and the public
about the unique niche ISO [CDC’s Immunization and
Safety Office] fills in the scientific community,
performing exciting and critical research.” The ISO
identifies possible vaccine side effects, conducts
research, and determines the potential impact on
public health.
