===== Safety Monitoring Systems ===== | ===== Safety Monitoring Systems ===== | ||
After a vaccine is authorized or approved for use, many vaccine safety monitoring systems watch for adverse events (possible side effects). This continued monitoring can pick up on adverse events that may not have been seen in clinical trials. If an unexpected adverse event is seen, experts quickly study it further to assess whether it is a true safety concern. Experts then decide whether changes are needed in U.S. vaccine recommendations. This monitoring is critical to help ensure that the benefits continue to outweigh the risks for people who receive vaccines. | After a vaccine is authorized or approved for use, many vaccine safety monitoring systems watch for adverse events (possible side effects).
