While the benefits are clear, data integration in the vaccine context faces several challenges:
1. Data Privacy and Security: Handling sensitive health information requires stringent data privacy and security measures to protect patient confidentiality.
2. Data Standardization: Different data sources may use various formats and terminologies, making it difficult to merge them into a cohesive dataset.
3. Interoperability: Ensuring that different information systems can communicate and exchange data seamlessly is a significant hurdle.
4. Data Quality: The accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of data can vary, affecting the reliability of integrated datasets.
