I thought it might be worthwhile to do a quick primer on CDC.gov datasets and public data resources.

1. DATA.CDC.GOV (data.cdc.gov/browse)
Datasets from across the agency, in browsable, machine readable format (Socrata system). Other/older collections are on:

2. WONDER.CDC.GOV (wonder.cdc.gov)
Data | Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Data published by CDC public health programs to help save lives and protect people from health, safety, and security threats.
