In the context of vaccines, data standards are essential for several reasons:
Interoperability: Ensures that data can be shared across different healthcare systems, enabling seamless tracking of vaccination records. Accuracy: Reduces errors and inconsistencies in data entry, which is critical for vaccine safety and efficacy monitoring. Public Health Monitoring: Facilitates the collection of reliable data needed for surveillance and decision-making by public health authorities. Research: Provides a standardized dataset for researchers to study vaccine outcomes and effectiveness.
