in the U.S. power-public- and prevention efforts, especially during the vaccine rollout. The
health-in-the-u-s/
ability to recognise trends in a cohort or region allowed for more
effective risk mitigation. For immunisation information systems (IIS),
this meant parsing data to identify and prioritise groups that are most
at risk from a lack of vaccination. Identifying at-risk groups is just
one part of the pandemic response process. From there, it involves
what are essentially next-generation logistics efforts: monitoring
vaccine distribution, managing vaccine appointments and tracking the
growing numbers of vaccinated individuals.
