General Information

The Public Health Agency of Canada collects case reports on adverse events following immunization from provincial and territorial health departments, health care professionals and the pharmaceutical industry.

The data is stored in the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization (CAEFI) database and is used to signal adverse events that may require more in-depth investigation. The main function of the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System (CAEFISS) is to ensure the continued safety of vaccines on the Canadian market by monitoring adverse events following immunization with vaccines.
