All vaccines must be licensed for use by the Irish Medicines Board and an adverse drug reaction – ADR – reporting system is operated by the board. Reports of suspected ADRs are received from healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies.

Such information is one of the tools used by the IMB in its ongoing safety evaluation of marketed drugs and vaccines.
