Experience of international vaccine surveillance systems management / 上海预防医学

ABSTRACT

We summarized the experiences of construction and management of vaccine safety surveillance systems in different countries and regions by using literature review, and then made the recommendations of strengthening vaccine surveillance system in China. In the study, we found that multiple existing national and regional vaccine surveillance systems, such as VAERS and EudraVigilance, can ensure vaccine safety through multi-sectoral surveillance, identification of adverse signals, and promotion of awareness of active reporting. However, the monitoring systems have some limitations, such as reporting bias and system decentralization. Therefore, China's vaccine monitoring system should establish an effective vaccine surveillance system, which achieves multi-sectoral, active, open to the public surveillance.
