ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the incidence of adverse event following immunization (AEFI) with 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into safety monitoring and evaluation of PCV13.@*Methods@#Surveillance data of AEFI with PCV13 in Jiaxing City from 2020 to 2022 were collected from the AEFI Monitoring Information Management System of the Immunization Planning System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, including demographic information, vaccination time, time of AEFI occurrence and clinical symptoms, and the reported incidence, population and district distribution, and clinical symptoms of AEFI with PCV13 were descriptively analyzed.@*Results@#Totally 455 cases of AEFI with PCV13 were reported in Jiaxing City from 2020 to 2022, with a reported incidence rate of 232.33/105 doses. There were 431, 21 and 3 cases of general, abnormal, coincidence and psychogenic reactions, with reported incidence rates of 220.07/105 doses, 10.72/105 doses and 1.53/105 doses, respectively, and no reports of causal reaction, vaccine quality accident and vaccination accident. The AEFI cases included 258 boys and 197 girls, with a boy/girl ratio of 1.31∶1, and 288 children at ages of less than a year (63.30%). The largest number of AEFI was reported in Haining City (87 cases, 19.12%), and there were 349 AEFI cases (76.70%) within 24 hours following vaccination. The clinical symptoms mainly included redness and swelling, fever and induration, with reported incidence rates of 132.76/105 doses (260 cases), 109.27/105 doses (214 cases), and 55.66/105 doses (109 cases), respectively. There were 450 cases cured and 5 cases improved in 455 cases of AEFI.@*Conclusions@#General reaction is the predominant AEFI in Jiaxing City from 2020 to 2022, with mild symptoms.
