Project Tycho
Project Tycho® is a project at the University of Pittsburgh to advance the availability and use of public health data for science and policy making. Currently, the Project Tycho® database includes data from all weekly notifiable disease reports for the United States dating back to 1888. These data are freely available to anybody interested. Additional U.S. and international data will be released twice yearly.
The Wall Street Journal [specifically Tynan DeBold @tynandebold and Dov Friedman @dov_friedman] recently published an outstanding article on Project Tyco, highlighting the Infectious Diseases data sets and the impacts of vaccination on populations over time.
This was winner of GEN Data Visualisation of the Year 2015. This project documents the impact vaccines had on 7 infectious diseases.
