D. L. MILLER1

1 Professor of Community Medicine, The Middlesex Hospital Medical School, Central Middlesex Hospital, Park Royal, London NW10 7NS, England.

Miller, D. L. (Dept. Community Medicine, The Middlesex Hospital Medical School, Central Middlesex Hospital, Park Royal, London, NW10 7NS, England). Monitoring communicable disease: vaccination programmes. International Journal of Epidemiology 1976. 5: 45–50.

The success of vaccination as a means of disease prevention depends on its appropriate application and its reputation with the profession and the public. Surveillance, by providing accurate information on effectiveness and the frequency and nature of hazards, is essential to this purpose. Several factors that influence the success and safety of vaccination programmes are discussed. The essential elements of a vaccine surveillance scheme are outlined with special reference to experience derived from monitoring vaccines in current use.
