The National Vaccine Institute (NVI) has launched the Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) reporting toolkit to enhance the monitoring and management of adverse events that may occur after vaccinations.
The toolkit is designed to streamline reporting processes, ensuring the timely detection and appropriate management of AEFI cases among health workers.
It is expected to contribute to the credibility of immunisation programmes in the country and prevent inappropriate responses to reports of AEFI which could lead to vaccine hesitancy among the population.
Speaking at the ceremony yesterday in Accra, the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NVI, Dr Sodzi Sodzi-Tettey, disclosed that the toolkit would be piloted in two regions; Eastern and Central as part of efforts to improve vaccine safety.
