Reporting Immunisation Reactions
From May 1st 2007, significant adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) can be notified to SAEFVIC instead of ADRAC.
SAEFVIC has been set-up for the Surveillance of Adverse Events Following Vaccination In the Community. It is a new initiative funded by the Department of Human Services Victoria based at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute within the Royal Children's Hospital in Parkville. This specialist service has been established to help manage patients who have had an AEFI. It is for all adverse events in both adults and children.
