Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract:Immunization currently prevents an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths every year. If proper vaccine administration covers globally, an additional 1.5 million deaths could be avoided. This study aims to document and need to detect and assess the adverse events for improving quality of life (QOL) of children on immunization. Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out over 1465doses. The data was collected using a data collection form and the standard AEFI form prescribed by the WHO. The patients were also followed up on phone. Causality assessment was done by Causality assessment of an adverse event following immunization (AEFI). Results:Total no. of adverse events detected was 1100 doses among 1465 doses. Generalized adverse events outnumbered other AEs (69.08%) by a wide margin it was followed up by Application site disorders (23.66%), Respiratorysystem (3.36%), Gastrointestinal system (2.24%), Skinappendages (0.98) %, Neurological disorders (0.26%) Musculoskeletal disorder (0.26%), Ocular and optic disorder (0.06%) Urinary tract infection (0.06%). Conclusion: Developing and maintaining electronic documentation of patient’s medical records may serve as a valuable tool to detect adverse events. In addition, creating internet facilities within a hospitals or immunization centers may help in easy access for healthcare professionals to update patient’s medical records resulting in possible detection and assessment and reporting of adverse event.
