James Vesper reviews the critical aspects of documents, records and record management. Documents like procedures, protocols, methods, and specifications provide instructions so people can perform tasks and make decisions safely, effectively, compliantly, and consistently. Records, such as batch manufacturing records, cleaning logs, and laboratory data sheets and notebooks provide evidence that actions were taken and decisions were (hopefully) made in keeping with procedures and GMP expectations. Reports, another type of documentation, provide specific information on a particular topic (like an investigation or one aspect of product development) in a formal, standardized way.

For children in Burkina Faso, the first shots of a new meningitis vaccine on December 6, 2010, mark a day they no longer have to live in fear of meningitis epidemics.

This 4-minute animated video emphasizes the difficulty and importance of maintaining proper temperatures in the vaccine cold chain. The risk of exposing vaccines to freezing temperatures are now known to be significant. These risks can be reduced through health worker training, temperature monitoring, investing in new freeze-safe cold chain equipment, and in vaccine formulations that can withstand cooler temperatures.

Fifty years have passed since the United States government pledged its political, financial, and technical resources to end smallpox—catalyzing the international effort, sparking CDC’s work as a global leader, and accelerating decades of vaccine innovation.
Join PATH in celebrating the impact of US government efforts in immunization around the world.
