Koppeling van registers voor het toezicht op COVID-19-vaccins

Het LINK-VACC-project koppelt geselecteerde variabelen uit bestaande registers voor het toezicht op COVID-19-vaccins aan elkaar, om het toezicht op COVID-19-vaccins in de fase na hun vergunning voor het in de handel brengen (toezicht na vergunningverlening) te waarborgen. Dit omvat het meten van de acceptatie en de dekkingsgraad van de vaccinatie, het schatten van de effectiviteit van het vaccin en het voortdurend monitoren van de veiligheid van het vaccin. Voor deze doeleinden worden bestaande gepseudonimiseerde gegevens over COVID-19-laboratoriumtestresultaten, COVID-19-patiënten in het ziekenhuis, COVID-19-vaccinaties, onderliggende gezondheidsproblemen, sociaal-demografische en sociaal-economische factoren en de status van zorgverleners gekoppeld. | Financiering: Het project wordt gefinancierd door de Belgische federale overheid | Geografische dekking: NUTS 3 | Doelgroep: Algemene bevolking | Persoonlijke identificatiecode: Nationaal identificatienummer | Aggregatieniveau: Individueel | Koppeling mogelijk: Ja | Regels voor het delen van gegevens: Externe onderzoekers die geselecteerde gegevens willen opvragen, moeten het aanvraagformulier invullen (https://epistat.wiv-isp.be/datarequest). Afhankelijk van het type gewenste gegevens (anoniem of gepseudonimiseerd) moet de verstrekking van gegevens worden beoordeeld door het Belgisch Comité voor Informatiebeveiliging Sociale Zekerheid & Gezondheid op basis van wettelijke en ethische voorschriften, en wordt deze vastgelegd in een overeenkomst inzake gegevensoverdracht met de eigenaar van de gegevens (Sciensano).

Population Coverage
The population targeted by the LINK-VACC project comprises all individuals in Belgium who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, undergone testing for COVID-19, or have been hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. The project also considers healthcare professionals and the general Belgian population for understanding vaccination coverage and effectiveness, especially among those with comorbidities and varying socio-economic backgrounds.

Purposes

  • The primary objective of Sciensano's LINK-VACC project is to monitor COVID-19 vaccines post-authorization and evaluate the public health value of prioritizing vaccination for people with comorbidities. This involves assessing the vaccines' effectiveness and safety in the broader population context, beyond the limited scope of clinical trials, and determining future vaccination policies in public health emergencies such as epidemics or pandemics

Provenance
  • The data for the LINK-VACC project is sourced from several existing databases, including Vaccinnet+, HealthData COVID-19 database (Contact tracing and Clinic database), CoBRHA, STATBEL, and the AIM database. These databases collectively provide comprehensive demographic, clinical, and socio-economic data relevant to the project's objectives
