Adverse effect investigation using application software after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 for healthcare workers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The usefulness of smartphone-based application software as a way to manage adverse events (AEs) after vaccination is well known. The purpose of this study is to clarify the usefulness and precautions of employing a smartphone application for collecting AEs after the administration of Comirnaty®️.

Methods

Healthcare workers (HCWs) who were vaccinated with Comirnaty®️ were asked to register for the application software and to report AEs for 14 days after vaccination. AEs were self-reported according to severity. The software was set to output an alert in case of fever.

Results

The number of HCWs who received the first dose was 2,551, and 2,406 (94.3%) reported their vaccinations. 2,547 received the second dose, and 2,347 (92.1%) reported their vaccinations.
