This vaccine data aligns with the strategy of collecting the same vaccine-related
data elements for all conditions. Vaccine data collection will be even more
important during the COVID-19 response. It is also essential for vaccine
preventable diseases to analyze this collection of data elements to generate
prevention strategies, inform control programs and policy.
