Abstract

The Monitoring System for Adverse Events Following Immunization (MSAEFI) has collected data from the public sector nationwide on adverse events occurring during the 4-week period following administration of vaccine. From 1979 to 1984, 6483 reports were received. Although rates of reporting have increased throughout the 6-year period, increases were larger for less serious events (209%) than for more serious events (53%). The MSAEFI data have been used to evaluate risk factors for adverse events following immunization, will continue to provide information on the safety of both current and future vaccines and may identify other factors that increase the risks of adverse events following immunization.

The evolution of the CDC HIV prevention capacity-building assistance initiative.

As the HIV/AIDS epidemic neared the end of its first decade in the late 1980s, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognized the disparate impact on racial and ethnic minority communities. In response, a program was initiated to build capacity to prevent the further spread of HIV and other STDs in these communities. Since that time, the program has expanded in scope, intensity of efforts, and funding. Today, the CDC's Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Initiative serves communities across the nation by building community, organizational, and HIV prevention program/intervention capacity designed to reduce the number of new HIV infections among at-risk populations. This article focuses on the history and evolution of these efforts, lessons learned, and how these were used to develop the current, more responsive system. A conceptual framework is presented that describes the taxonomy of CBA services designed to (1) enhance organizational infrastructure; (2) enhance HIV prevention interventions; (3) strengthen community capacity; and (4) strengthen community planning. It includes language and definitions, approaches and mechanisms for delivering capacity-building services, and a Web-based request-and-referral system that serves as the foundation for tracking, monitoring, and ensuring the delivery of appropriate, efficient, and culturally competent CBA.
