Medical Surveillance Activity, which
operates the DMSS, routinely publishes
summaries of notifiable diseases, trends
of illnesses of special surveillance
interest and field reports describing
outbreaks and case occurrences in the
Medical Surveillance Monthly Report,
the principal vehicles for disseminating
medical surveillance information of
broad interest. Through DMSS, The
Army Medical Surveillance Activity
provides the sole link between the DoD
Serum Repository and other databases.
This repository contains over 32 million
frozen serum specimens and is the
largest of its kind in the world.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND
THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to those disclosures
generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
