Résumé

Concerns about vaccine safety make some parents hesitant about immunization. Health care providers are pivotal in helping parents understand that Canada is a leader in vaccine safety. The present practice point provides an update on the eight components of Canada's vaccine safety system: (1) an evidence-based pre-license review and approval process; (2) strong regulations for manufacturers; (3) independent evidence-based vaccine use recommendations; (4) immunization competency training and standards for health care providers; (5) pharmacovigilance programs to detect and (6) determine causality of adverse events following immunization (AEFIs); (7) a program for vaccine safety and efficacy signal detection; and (8) the Canadian Immunization Research Network's special immunization clinics for children who have experienced serious AEFIs.

Funding Information:
The active surveillance component, which has been in place for over two decades, is conducted by the Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive (IMPACT), overseen by the Canadian Paediatric Society and funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) (7). IMPACT uses specially trained nurse monitors to actively and systematically search all hospital admissions for selected AEFIs (e.g., neurological conditions, thrombocytopenia, local or allergic complications of vaccination, intussusception), for vaccine-preventable diseases (including cases where vaccine failure might be a factor), and for selected infectious diseases in children that are (or will soon be) vaccine-preventable. The program is conducted in 12 paediatric hospitals across Canada that collectively capture over 90% of all paediatric tertiary care admissions. IMPACT’s summary reports are available to health care practitioners and the public on the Canadian Paediatric Society website (www.cps.ca/en/impact).
