About the course4:36
Explore the fundamentals of vaccine pharmacovigilance, including Brighton collaboration criteria, AEFI, vaccination failure, data collection, analysis, and safety signal management across four modules.
Introduction, Vaccines and types, Brighton collaboration18:13
Learn how vaccines build active immunity by exposing the body to antigenic components, examine inactivated, live attenuated, mRNA, subunit and other vaccine types, and review pharmacovigilance and Brighton Collaboration.
Why PV of Vaccines is different from other drugs7:09
Explains why vaccine pharmacovigilance differs from drug pharmacovigilance by outlining complex information capture for vaccines with antigens, live organisms, adjuvants, preservatives, and distinct causality assessment and reporting chains.
Why Vaccine safety monitoring5:30
Learn why vaccine safety monitoring matters by weighing adverse events against vaccine benefits and applying the first do no harm principle to risk–benefit assessments.
Quiz

Elements to consider in Vaccine PV9:09
Explore key elements of vaccine pharmacovigilance, including subpopulations at risk, serious and nonserious adverse events, causal assessment methods, concomitant vaccine administration, batch information, and herd immunity.
Adverse events following immunization [AEFI]5:06
Define adverse events following immunization (aefi) and classify them within vaccine pharmacovigilance into vaccine product related, quality defect related, immunization error related, immunization anxiety related, and coincidental events.
Vaccination failure Algorithm3:16
Identify and apply the vaccination failure algorithm to distinguish failure to vaccinate from vaccine failure, evaluate compliance, storage, and program issues, and use confirmatory testing to classify outcomes.
Data collection checklist for suspected vaccination failure5:34
Quiz

Data collection7:22
Learn how to collect, analyze, and present vaccine safety data by identifying key elements: identifiable reporter, identifiable patient, prior immunizations, and detailed adverse event descriptions.
Data analysis4:58
Analyze data after collection by classifying reported adverse events following immunization into cases meeting or not meeting the Brighton Collaboration case definition, using diagnostic certainty levels.
Data presentation5:09
present adverse events following immunization data per guidelines, with numerator and denominator, validated case definitions, and methods for data collection, surveillance type, and suitable descriptive statistics.
Sample report form for AEFI5:46
Explore how the adverse event following immunization (aefi) report form captures reporter and patient details, vaccine data, onset timing, and treatment for thorough pharmacovigilance.
