Description:This memorandum summarizes changes to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) based upon position statements approved by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) in 2021 and other relevant updates.
Please share this information with surveillance and informatics staff in your jurisdictions responsible for collection or submission of NNDSS data to CDC.
CDC plans to post an update to the 2021 event code list, the new 2022 event code list, 2022 national surveillance case definitions, and the 2022 list of nationally notifiable conditions on the NNDSS website by December 31, 2021. The update to the 2021 event code list will include a statement in the “Notes” indicating CSTE approved a revision to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case definition in 2021 (see CDC memorandum dated August 24, 2021). The 2022 event code list will include 2021 CSTE position statement updates for acute flaccid myelitis, alpha-gal syndrome, COVID-19, Chlamydia trachomatis infection, Lyme disease, and viral hemorrhagic fever.
