Establishment of Safety Monitoring System for Vaccines Not Included in the National Immunization Program in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Korea, there are no surveillance programs for vaccines that are not included in the national immunization program (NIP), and vaccine safety monitoring in the adult population is inadequate. This study aimed to establish a safety monitoring system for non-NIP vaccines in adults.

Methods

Frequently administered non-NIP vaccines were selected. Individuals were included if they received at least one of the selected vaccines at a participating institution and provided informed consent. Solicited and unsolicited adverse events were monitored using questionnaires sent through text messages on days 1, 3, 7, 28, and 90 post-vaccination. Selected adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were monitored monthly by retrospective review of electronic medical records. Causa
