Guideline on good pharmacovigilance practices (GVP) Product- or Population-Specific Considerations I: Vaccines for prophylaxis against infectious diseases:

P.I.A. Introduction:

Vaccination is one of the most effective and widely used public health interventions, whose benefits for individuals and the community have been abundantly demonstrated. Prominent examples are the global eradication of smallpox and the elimination of poliomyelitis in most countries. As with any other pharmaceutical product, however, no vaccine is without risks. Robust systems and procedures must be in place to continuously monitor quality, safety and efficacy. Vaccine pharmacovigilance has been defined by the CIOMS/WHO Working Group on Vaccine Pharmacovigilance as the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding and communication of adverse events following immunisation and other vaccine- or immunisation-related issues, and to the prevention of untoward effects of the vaccine or immunisation.
