What is AEFI || Adverse Events Following Immunization

AEFI stands for Adverse Events Following Immunization. It refers to any undesirable health outcome experienced by an individual after receiving a vaccine. These events can range from mild reactions, such as local pain or swelling at the injection site, to rare, more serious side effects.
It's important to note that most AEFI are mild and temporary, and vaccines undergo thorough testing to ensure their safety and efficacy before approval for public use. Prompt reporting of AEFI is essential to monitor vaccine safety and maintain public health.
Common AEFI include Local Reactions (redness, swelling & pain at injection site), system reactions (fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain & nausea) and mild allergic reactions (itchy skin, hives & mild swelling). In general, mostly common AEFI’s are mild and resolve on their own without any specific medical intervention.
Rare and serious Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) are uncommon but can occur in some individuals. These severe reactions may require immediate medical attention and specialized treatment.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS): GBS is a rare neurological disorder that can occur after certain vaccinations. It causes muscle weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. Treatment for GBS often involves hospitalization, supportive care, and therapies to manage symptoms and promote recovery.
Reporting of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) is an essential process that helps monitor vaccine safety and ensure public health. The procedure for reporting AEFI varies from country to country.
Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) are important to understand in the context of vaccination. While some reactions may occur after receiving vaccines, they are generally mild and temporary.
Vaccines undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and efficacy, and their benefits in preventing diseases far outweigh the risks of AEFI. Severe reactions are rare, and immediate medical attention is available if needed.
