Description

The recent introduction of new vaccines into the school-based immunization program in BC included the monitoring of adverse events following immunization (AEFI). This was done to determine the rate and severity of adverse events for an individual vaccine, and to compare different combinations of vaccines administered in the same or different arms. Currently in BC, students are offered meningococcal C conjugate [MCC], hepatitis B virus (HBV), and varicella vaccines in grade 6 and diphtheria/tetanus/acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in grade 9. (1) In addition, female students in both these grades are offered human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. With up to four vaccines being offered at one visit, it is important to determine the site and combination of administration that minimizes potential AEFI. METHODS
