What is the program that collects data regarding errors of vaccine handling and administration called?

The Vaccine Error Reporting Program (VERP) is designed specifically for collecting data related to errors in vaccine handling and administration. This program focuses on capturing incidents such as vaccine preparation errors, improper storage conditions, and issues during administration. By gathering detailed reports on these errors, VERP aims to improve vaccination practices and safety, thereby enhancing public health outcomes.

In contrast, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is primarily concerned with tracking adverse reactions to vaccines rather than handling errors. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) addresses claims for injuries resulting from vaccines, providing compensation but not focusing on error reporting. The MEC (Medical Error Committee) usually deals with broader medical errors within healthcare settings, rather than being specific to vaccine errors. Thus, VERP is the appropriate program that specifically targets data on errors in vaccine handling and administration.
