Summary

In 1990 Canada, over 12 million vaccine doses were distributed. The Childhood Immunization Division received 2832 adverse event reports, showing a very low incidence of vaccine-related adverse events.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Immunization Safety
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Adverse events following immunization (AEFI) are a concern for public health.
  • Robust surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring vaccine safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize adverse event data reported in Canada during 1990.
  • To describe the surveillance system for AEFI.
  • To assess the incidence of reported adverse events in relation to vaccine distribution.

Main Methods:

  • Data collection from the Childhood Immunization Division of the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control.
  • Analysis of adverse event reports temporally associated with immunizing agents.
  • Calculation of incidence rates based on reported events and vaccine doses distributed.

Main Results:

  • A total of 2832 adverse event reports were received in Canada during 1990.
  • Over 12,000,000 doses of vaccines were distributed nationwide.
  • The incidence of reported adverse events was very low.

Conclusions:

  • The Canadian surveillance system effectively captured AEFI reports.
  • Vaccine administration in 1990 was associated with a low incidence of reported adverse events.
  • Findings support the safety profile of vaccines used in Canada during this period.
