COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor (CVM)

Finished project

2021-2023

This two-year project was requested by the EMA to extend and build on work from the Early Covid Vaccine Monitor Study. CVM supported COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring in three ways: (1) by repeatedly asking more than 680,000 vaccinated people directly about side effects, (2) with available pseudonymized electronic health records across Europe to quickly evaluate and quantify associations between adverse events and Covid-19 vaccinations, and (3) by evaluating methodologies. CVM was conducted in collaboration with the EU Pharmacoepidemiology & Pharmacovigilance Research Network (EU PE&PV) and VAC4EU.
