Overview
Vaccine safety refers to the systematic evaluation and monitoring of the risks and adverse effects associated with vaccines, ensuring that the benefits of Immunization outweigh any potential harms. It encompasses the rigorous testing of candidate vaccines in clinical trials, regulatory review and approval, and ongoing post-marketing surveillance to detect, investigate, and respond to adverse events following Immunization. Robust vaccine-safety systems are essential both to protect individuals and to maintain public confidence in Immunization programmes, particularly because perceptions of safety strongly influence vaccine acceptance and hesitancy. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to vaccine safety published in the Immunization journal and related OpenAccessPub titles. On-topic work includes a report from Iran on the safety of BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) COVID-19 vaccination in people with multiple sclerosis, which examines tolerability and adverse events in a specific patient population, a question central to assessing vaccine safety in groups with underlying conditions. The journal's wider coverage of Immunization, vaccine uptake, and hesitancy provides context for how safety evidence shapes the delivery and acceptance of vaccines. Together this material reflects the field's emphasis on documenting and communicating the safety profile of vaccines as part of evidence-based public-health practice.
