Optimizing safety surveillance for COVID-19 vaccines

Nat Rev Immunol. 2020 Aug;20(8):451-452. doi: 10.1038/s41577-020-0372-8.

Abstract

Evolution of the current infrastructure for surveillance of vaccine safety will be essential to meet our commitments to the public in the deployment of a vaccine (or vaccines) to COVID-19. The incorporation of concepts and tools within the fields of data science and systems immunology can be used to propel vaccine safety monitoring into the twenty-first century.
