| Summary |
This report from the Council for International Organizations of
Medical Sciences (CIOMS) in collaboration with WHO covers
the activities and outputs of the CIOMS/WHO Working Group on
Vaccine Pharmacovigilance (2005-2010).
This working group brought together experts from both industrialized
and emerging countries representing regulatory agencies,
vaccine industry, national and international public health bodies
including WHO and CIOMS, academia and clinical care, contributing
from their different perspectives.
The working group's report covers general terms and definitions
for vaccine safety and discusses the application of such harmonized
tools in vaccine safety surveillance and studies. As well,
the report highlights case definitions for adverse events typically
reported for vaccines.
The report is addressed to those engaged in vaccine safety data
collection and evaluation, and will also make a useful reading for
others who want to familiarise themselves with vaccine safety
terminology. |
