  • Title: Vaccine-associated adverse events.
    Author: Meyer EK.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2001 May; 31(3):493-514, vi. PubMed ID: 11446100.
    Abstract:
    Although vaccination plays a vital role in maintaining animal health, there are risks associated with this medical procedure. Veterinarians are beginning to reexamine dogmatic vaccine protocols and consider both risks and benefits of vaccination, with special emphasis on adverse event information generated by practitioner experience. The current status of postmarketing surveillance for commercially available veterinary vaccines is presented, along with a discussion of the strengths and limitations of surveillance programs. An overview of adverse events commonly reported by veterinarians is included, along with practical information on how veterinarians can share their observations and learn about adverse events reported by their colleagues.
