An adverse reaction is an undesirable side effect that occurs after a vaccination. Vaccine adverse reactions are classified as 1) local, 2) systemic, or 3) allergic (additional information). Local reactions (e.g., redness) are usually the least severe and most frequent.
The goal of adverse event investigation and reporting is to determine whether these events are associated with the vaccine or immunization. Vaccine attributable risk is defined as the difference between the frequency of the event in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated population.
This chapter is intended as a guide for the assessment and initial management of vaccine recipients who develop acute adverse reactions in a community setting (e.g., schools, public health clinics, health centres).
When adverse reactions do occur, they can range from minor (e.g., soreness, itching) to serious (e.g., anaphylaxis). Be prepared. Vaccinators should know how to recognize allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Have a plan and supplies ready to provide appropriate medical care if an event occurs.
