Data Dashboards

The GVDN® developed protocols for partner sites to implement and determine background rates for health outcomes of interest, carry out rapid cycle analysis and perform observed versus expected analyses for adverse events of special interest, and implement association studies to identify the relationship between vaccination and a potential vaccine safety signal. Data from GVDN partner sites conducting these studies will be displayed on interactive dashboards as they become available. 

The GVDN uses Shiny applications to create interactive data dashboards that allow users to interact with and visualise study data as they become available. Each dashboard is embedded in a GVDN webpage, and is self-contained, hosted by RStudio on shared cloud servers, and accessed via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Data for each dashboard has been uploaded to the dashboard by the GVDN.

Dashboard data are deidentified. With data for rare events, to avoid recording potentially identifying low counts or suppression of counts below a threshold, such as counts <6, some age groups will have been aggregated up to 20-year age groups, to increase counts.

The first available dashboards provide background rates for adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and can be accessed through the link below.
