About Vital Signs

Vital Signs is a monthly report that appears as part of the CDC journal, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). Each report includes an MMWR Early Release, a fact sheet and website, a media release, and a series of announcements via social media tools.

Each month, the report provides the latest data and information on key health indicators. These are cancer prevention, obesity, tobacco use, motor vehicle passenger safety, prescription drug overdose, HIV/AIDS, alcohol use, health care-associated infections, cardiovascular health, teen pregnancy, food safety, and viral hepatitis.
