Aug 1, 2023: We have a new vaccine profile

The Norwegian Immunisation Registry SYSVAK (national vaccination register) is a nationwide electronic vaccination register established in 1995. Until October 2009, the reporting obligation to SYSVAK only covered vaccines given in the childhood vaccination programme. During the flu pandemic in 2009, reporting was also introduced for the vaccine against pandemic flu. Starting January 2011, the reporting obligation was extended to apply to all vaccinations for all age groups in the population.

Jul 25, 2023: We finally have the NCARDRS profile! (It includes information from 8 former individual congenital anomaly registries)

Launched April 1, 2015, the National Congenital Anomaly and Rare Disease Registration Service (NCARDRS) records information on people with congenital abnormalities and rare diseases across the whole of England. NCARDRS includes information from the following registries, which individually collected data in the past:

- Congenital Anomaly Register for Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire (CAROBB)

Jul 29, 2023: We have just added a new profile from the Republic of Ireland

The National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) was established in 1991 and has been collecting comprehensive cancer information for the population of the Republic of Ireland since 1994. This information is used in research into the causes of cancer, in education and information programmes, and in the planning and management of cancer services to deliver the best cancer care to the whole population.
