New Feature: Jurisdiction of Occurrence
 
NVSS provisional data are generally
reported by jurisdiction of occurrence
 
WONDER previously only allowed
queries by the decedent’s place of
residence
 
New Feature: MMWR week/year
 
Query deaths by the MMWR week in
which the death occurred
 
 
Provides additional granularity to look at
deaths over time.
