The federal government frequently takes a licking in these pages, but late in February it finally made one small decisive step toward helping the children of America. The decision, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drew little attention in the mainstream media, but it deserves praise nonetheless. It also deserves a followup warning that the action will be useless without more tough decision-making in favor of openness and access to vaccination records. The CDC -- under the promising direction of Dr. Julie L. Gerberding -- at long last decided to separate the national immunization program from the branch that monitors vaccine safety and the risks of serious side effects.

In announcing the reorganization, CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding said the move will improve the credibility and capability of the safety branch, which will be headed by CDC’s science chief, Dr. Dixie Snider, Jr.
