Funded Activity Summary

Despite the considerable benefits of vaccination there is public concern about the safety of newly introduced or seasonal influenza vaccines. Loss of confidence in vaccine safety can result in decreased vaccine coverage and resurgence of disease. The current system of monitoring vaccines after licensure is unable to detect all important adverse events following immunisation. The proposed study evaluates web based communication and mobile phone text messaging to identify adverse events following immunisation.
