<hr />
<div>Vaccine Safety Datalink Project (VSD) is a project claiming to seek to increase knowledge about [[vaccine]] [[adverse events]].<br />
<br />
The [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] have formed partnerships with eight large health Management Organizations (HMOs) to continually evaluate vaccine safety. The project contains data on more than 6 million people. Medical records are monitored for potential adverse events following [[immunization]]. <br />
<br />
The VSD project is supposed to allow for planned vaccine safety studies as well as timely investigations of hypothesis.<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/about/terms/glossary.htm#v</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a database managed by the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] and the [[Food and Drug Administration]]. <br />
<br />
VAERS provides a mechanism for the collection and analysis of adverse events associated with [[vaccines]] currently licensed in the United States. <br />
<br />
Reports to VAERS can be made by the vaccine manufacturer, recipient, their parent/guardian or health care provider. <br />
<br />
For more information on VAERS call (800) 822-7967.<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/about/terms/glossary.htm#v</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that has been used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930's. Mercury has long been known to be highly toxic.<br />
<br />
In July 1999 the U.S. Public Health Service, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated from vaccines as a precautionary measure. <br />
<br />
Today, the government claims that all routinely recommended childhood vaccines manufactured for the U.S. market contain either no thimerosal or only trace amounts. But physicians continued to use vaccines containing thimerosal long after the recommendation of its elimination, in order to clear the old inventory of pharmaceutical companies.<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/about/terms/glossary.htm#t</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system characterized by the destruction of the [[myelin]] sheath surrounding neurons, resulting in the formation of "plaques." <br />
<br />
MS is a progressive and usually fluctuating disease with exacerbations (patients feeling worse) and remissions (patients feeling better) over many decades. Eventually, in most patients, remissions do not reach baseline levels and permanent disability and sometimes death occurs. <br />
<br />
The cause of MS is unknown. The most widely held hypothesis is that MS occurs in patients with a genetic susceptibility and that some environmental factors "trigger" exacerbations. <br />
<br />
MS is 3 times more common in women than men, with diagnosis usually made as young adults. <br />
<br />
The [[Hepatitis B vaccine]] significantly increases the risk of contracting MS.<br />
