It's always a pleasant surprise when you come across a new and useful site. Here's one that looks absolutely fantastic - http://idsurv.org/display-data.php
Indian Academy of Pediatrics in collaboration with its Kutch branch has started Infectious Disease Surveillance and AEFI (Adverse Event Following Immunization) reporting system for reporting serious AEFI. The Objectives of the project are to develop an early warning system for pediatric infectious diseases in India, to generate data on burden of infectious diseases in India and to generate data on serious AEFI. The standard case definitions for all the diseases covered under this project are provided on the website. All the cases reported through various methods are collected in a single database in real time and reports are sent to all users on weekly basis. In case a disease outbreak is recorded on the system, email and SMS alert are sent to all users instantaneously.

About Us
Disease surveillance is an important component of public health programme. It has two essential purposes, monitoring the progress of ongoing interventions for disease reduction and early detection of outbreaks in order to initiate investigations and control measures.
The idea of IDsurv.org was conceived by Indian Academy of Pediatrics Kutch Branch and was initiallly supported technically & financially by Child Health Foundation from grant received for "Prevent Pneumonia - Save the Child Campaign" from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Initially IDsurv.org was designed only for Kutch district. After interest shown in this project by IAP COI and CIAP, a MOU was signed between IAP Kutch Branch and CIAP to make this project available nationwide for all IAP members. Initially only 9 diseases where under surveillance. Hepatitis surveillance was added later on. Recently we have started surveillance for serious AEFI on the IDsurv platform with support Government of India.
Objectives:
- To develop an early warning system for pediatric vaccine preventable diseases in India
- To generate data on burden of vaccine preventable diseases in India
- To generate data on Severe AEFI in India
At present following disease are being reported under IDsurv Project:
Acute Bacterial Meningitis
Acute Encephalitis syndrome
chicken pox
pertussis
dengue
diphtheria
