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. C<\/span>ommon side effects from vaccines are usually mild and short\u2011lasting.<\/span> \u090f\u0938<\/span>evere side effects are rare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monitoring vaccine safety during development<\/a> \u0914\u0930 post\u2011licensure adverse event surveillance<\/a> are important ways both to ensure safe vaccination programs and to maintain community confidence in vaccines.<\/span><\/p>\n
