As we reported earlier, the Center contributed to the creation of a news story for the ICTV TV channel devoted to the safety of vaccines against Covid-19.
We were looking forward to its release, as we understood that we would not be the only experts whose opinion would be heard on air. The other day the story aired in the evening edition of “Facts” (ICTV). We share our impressions after watching and analyzing it.
We continue to inform the public and publish the results of vaccine safety monitoring. The issue of vaccine safety concerns many people.
The Center is interested in receiving the most accurate information about all cases of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) that may occur after vaccination. Therefore, the public demand – What should an ordinary Ukrainian do if AEFI occur after vaccination? Where should they go? – we sensed earlier than it was voiced on air, and we already have an answer:
- Identification and management of risks associated with the use of the vaccine depend on the timely provision of information about AEFI.
- Any AEFI within 30 days after vaccination must be reported to the Center via the Automated Pharmacovigilance Information System at https://aisf.dec.gov.ua.
- Precisely in order to help Ukrainians report all cases of AEFI, we created and implemented the AISF chatbot, which works 24/7 in the Telegram messenger: https://t.me/aisf_dec_bot
We thank the journalists of “Fakty” for professional and unbiased coverage of the topic of vaccination against Covid-19 and the Center's role in pharmacovigilance.
