Abstract
Objectives: The HealthPartners' Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) team maintains standardized files of vaccines from medical and pharmacy claims and electronic health records (established data sources) for safety surveillance. Since 2021, for selected vaccines, data from the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC), Minnesota's immunization information system, have been added to the HealthPartners' VSD files. We examined how MIIC data have enhanced the identification of novel and routine vaccines.
Methods: We describe the approach to incorporating MIIC data. We determined and compared the number and proportion of vaccines identified from established data sources with the additional capture of vaccine data identified from MIIC, in which age group and period of observation varied by vaccine.
Results: As of December 31, 2023, of 1 099 411 people in the HealthPartners' VSD cohort, 1 001 400 people (91%) were linked with an MIIC record. Across all data sources, for the full cohort, >2.7 million COVID-19 vaccine doses were recorded since 2020, >4000 mpox vaccine doses since 2022, >7.3 million influenza vaccine doses since 2004, >600 000 human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine doses since 2006, and >1.1 million diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine doses since 2004. For COVID-19 vaccines, about 30% of vaccine doses were exclusively captured from MIIC, with the remaining 70% from established data sources. For the mpox vaccine, about 42% were exclusively from MIIC. For influenza, HPV, and DTaP vaccines, about 20%, 14%, and 17%, respectively, were exclusively identified from MIIC.
Conclusions: Incorporation of data from state immunization information systems into existing vaccine data files can enhance monitoring on the safety of novel vaccines administered outside traditional health care settings and can enhance data quality for routine childhood and adult vaccines.
期刊介绍:
Public Health Reports is the official journal of the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Public Health Service and has been published since 1878. It is published bimonthly, plus supplement issues, through an official agreement with the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health. The journal is peer-reviewed and publishes original research and commentaries in the areas of public health practice and methodology, original research, public health law, and public health schools and teaching. Issues contain regular commentaries by the U.S. Surgeon General and executives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health.
The journal focuses upon such topics as tobacco control, teenage violence, occupational disease and injury, immunization, drug policy, lead screening, health disparities, and many other key and emerging public health issues. In addition to the six regular issues, PHR produces supplemental issues approximately 2-5 times per year which focus on specific topics that are of particular interest to our readership. The journal''s contributors are on the front line of public health and they present their work in a readable and accessible format.
