पृष्ठभूमि
AusVaxSafety is a national active surveillance system monitoring adverse events following राष्ट्रीय टीकाकरण कार्यक्रम (NIP) , as well as targeted vaccine programs such as mpox और COVID‑19. It was established in 2014 by the टीकाकरण अनुसंधान और निगरानी के लिए राष्ट्रीय केंद्र (एनसीआईआरएस) with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
An adverse event following immunisation (AEFI) is any untoward medical occurrence that happens following the administration of a vaccine. It can be coincidentally associated with immunisation, without necessarily being caused by the vaccine. Common side effects from vaccines are usually mild and short‑lasting. Severe side effects are rare.
Purpose
Monitoring vaccine safety during development और post‑licensure adverse event surveillance are important ways both to ensure safe vaccination programs and to maintain community confidence in vaccines.
AusVaxSafety monitors de-identified data using software programs such as स्मार्टवैक्स और वैक्सट्रैकर gather information directly from vaccinees and carers via SMS/email to rapidly detect possible vaccine safety signals.
