Abstract

The adverse events following immunisation surveillance aims to monitor vaccine and immunisation program safety and to detect population-specific, rare, late-onset or unexpected adverse events that may not be detected in pre-licensure vaccine trials. This report summarises national passive surveillance data reported to 31 August 2009 for adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) in children aged less than 7 years who received vaccines between 1 January and 30 June 2009.
