Vaccines
Vaccine research at the IHR focuses on three areas of importance to the public, Kaiser Permanente members, and policymakers: safety, hesitancy, and delivery. Since 2000, we have partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on a national, multi-site project called the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD). The VSD project studies the safety of all vaccines currently licensed for use in the US. Our research group also designs, conducts and implements behavioral interventions designed to reduce vaccination concerns and improve vaccine acceptance among parents. Finally, our research group studies methods to increase vaccination coverage rates.

The goal of this project is to evaluate the safety of currently licensed (or authorized for emergency use) vaccines in the United States. To accomplish this, we lead specific vaccine safety studies, and use privacy-protecting approaches to contribute electronic health record data to multiple vaccine safety investigations.

The goal of this project is to use annual National Immunization Survey-Child data to examine patterns and trends of childhood vaccination patterns across the US and determine whether trends in schedule adherence or completion of vaccine series are modified by rurality.

The goal of this project is to use surveys and electronic health data to find out more about when and where people receive their influenza vaccines to improve the ability of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor national influenza vaccination rates. This work is done through the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a collaborative project between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 8 health care organizations across the country. The VSD conducts vaccine safety studies based on questions and concerns from the medical, scientific, and public communities. We are starting our 3rd year of surveys in the VSD. In 2021, we are surveying women across the United States who are currently pregnant or were pregnant during the influenza season. We are also asking several questions about the COVID vaccine, such as willingness to get a vaccine when available.
