Vaccines are safe
All vaccines available in Australia go through a rigorous testing process, ensuring they are safe and effective before approval.
There is also an independent process for the listing of vaccines on the National Immunisation Program.
Once in use, vaccine monitoring continues for safety. Reports on adverse events or reactions are collected and investigated if there is a suspected problem.
