Close enough, at least hopefully by the end of the year, for government work.
This is not rocket surgery. You give a shot, you log a shot.
It’s a little more complicated than that; it involves recording, storing, managing, reporting and analyzing the following information for each vaccination:
• Name,
• Address
• Sex
• Date of birth
• Race and ethnicity
• The date and location of the vaccination
• The shot received
This big data collection effort comes after decades of the “hollowing-out” of federal, state and local health departments due to budgetary caps, staff retirements/brain drain and poor leadership.
Upgrading data collection will be a work in progress. Agree that it should be a government priority.
