Training for mid-level managers (‎MLM)‎ - Module 8: making disease surveillance work

Are reports of vaccine-preventable diseases sent to your province office every month? Do your health staff understand the value and relevance of the information that they send you? If you suspect that the surveillance information is incomplete or inadequate, or if surveillance needs to be enhanced to include additional diseases, how can you improve the surveillance system to meet these needs?

This module describes various well-established methods of conducting and using surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases. Various steps common to many diseases are explained, and in addition there are specific details on a number of common vaccine-preventable diseases. There is also a section describing the principal activities for outbreak response.
