ABSTRACT Purpose We conducted weekly surveillance for pre‐specified adverse events following receipt of the 2012–2013 influenza vaccines in Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD). Methods For each outcome, risk intervals (i.e., period after vaccination with a potentially increased risk) were defined on basis biologic plausibility and prior literature. Seizures inactivated vaccine (IIV) monitored children three age groups (6–23 months, 24–59 5–17 years) using self‐controlled interval design. also...

The changes in each year influenza vaccine antigenic components as well administration patterns may pose new risks of adverse events following immunization (AEs). To evaluate the safety vaccines annually administered to people ≥ 6 months, we conducted weekly post licensure surveillance for seven pre-specified receipt during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD).

Abstract Purpose The self‐controlled risk interval design is commonly used to assess the association between an acute exposure and adverse event of interest, implicitly adjusting for fixed, non‐time‐varying covariates. Explicit adjustment needs be made time‐varying covariates, example, age in young children. It can performed via either a fixed or random adjustment. random‐adjustment approach provide valid point estimates but requires access individual‐level data unexposed baseline sample....
