Published: 27 November 2020
Revised: 10 February 2021

How will Medsafe monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety?

Medsafe has not yet finalised all of the methods that we will use to monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety.

- MOH deferring to ACC for advice is a powerful indication MOH MEDSAFE are unable to finalize the safety monitoring processes because there is little to no published advice on anything other than local reactogenicity.

Systemic adverse events as observed in the MEDSAFE summaries are being grossly underreported. Medical staff or amateur vaccinators are untrained in adverse event clinical presentation outside those which are listed on MOH portal.
As such medical staff have no indications what new technology adverse events could present as.

CARM system and processes has a historical baseline of <2.9% adverse event reporting or a 34.5 fold rate of under reporting going back more than 20.years.

Stats are from official gov sources including CARMS own portal and document produced by CARM Clinical Risk Management Team.

https://bpac.org.nz/bpj/2014/april/react...

'For example, analysis of the data stored in the Patient Management Systems of 30 general practices found that of the 725 entries in the medical warnings files that recorded an adverse reaction or allergy to at least one medicine, only 21 were reported to CARM.'
