Private Institutions Pioneer COVID-19 Data Sharing

From the start of the pandemic, Johns Hopkins University and some media organizations recognized that the national public health infrastructure was not well equipped to track COVID-19 data in near real time. These data pioneers rose up to provide the public and policymakers with high-quality, trustworthy information to help keep people safe and inform critical decisions.

Q&A: Addressing Latino Health Disparities with Pandemic Data

Pandemic data about Latinos has been severely limited due to inaccurate categorizations of race and ethnicity as well as outreach hobbled by language and other research barriers. But small changes to data collection methods could have a big impact on recognizing and addressing long-standing health disparities in the Latino community.

Pandemic Data Outlook

States and CDC Improve Breakthrough and Booster Data Reporting

Since authorization of COVID-19 vaccines, data on breakthrough cases and booster doses have been essential to tracking vaccine efficacy and coverage levels, and identifying unvaccinated or undervaccinated populations. The CDC now reports cases and deaths by vaccination status and states are consistently reporting booster doses.

Q&A: Fighting Misinformation while Acquiring Accurate Information

The COVID-19 pandemic has required medical researchers to reinvent the structure of research to enable rapid data collection amid a near constant stream of updated information. Medical staff also had to combat anecdotal evidence and misinformation that arose from the lack of reliable data, which they themselves were working to rectify.
