| アブストラクト | Introduction: Vaccination is one of the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions. Although vaccines undergo extensive safety and efficacy evaluations prior to licensure, vaccine safety assessment post-licensure is essential for detecting rare and longer-term adverse events (AEs) and maintaining public confidence in vaccines and recommended immunization programs. Despite the proven effect of vaccines to save lives and prevent disease and overwhelming evidence of vaccines' safety and societal benefit, like any drug, no vaccine can be considered as completely safe and completely effective. New vaccines continue to be introduced and require rapid safety assessment post-licensure through pharmacovigilance reports as well as epidemiologic studies to investigate any potential safety signals.Areas covered: We discuss selected challenges for conducting pharmacovigilance and epidemiologic studies of AEs after vaccination in the United States using the post-licensure safety surveillance infrastructure of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Expert opinion: The availability of specific post-licensure surveillance systems to monitor and study AEs after vaccination, such as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, the Vaccine Safety Datalink, and the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment Project, each with its unique set of strengths and limitations, provide a harmonized and supportive approach to meet several of these barriers. |
