Active surveillance of adverse events following childhood immunization in Singapore

Hospital-based active surveillance can enhance signal detection and follow-up investigations of AEFI. Subsequently, public health bodies are better equipped to maintain public confidence in vaccination programmes and physicians are able to provide relevant advice to parents. It also allows for a better understanding of risk-benefit ratios of specific vaccines and aids the generation of public health vaccination policy.
