Vaccine Report 2018 - Postmarketing surveillance in Italy

The Vaccine Report summarizes the post-marketing surveillance activities on vaccines conducted in Italy in 2018.
Compared to previous reports, this year it was possible to use, for the calculation of reporting rates (ratio between the number of reports and exposure data), the doses actually administered at national level, provided by the Ministry of Health and the Departments of Prevention of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces.
This allowed the calculation of overall reporting and related serious adverse reaction rates for doses administered on a national scale.
