Australia’s active vaccine safety system

COVID-19 vaccines

Vaccine safety data

 

AusVaxSafety is conducting active vaccine safety surveillance of the COVID-19 vaccines in use in Australia to ensure their ongoing safety. The COVID-19 vaccines currently being used are Comirnaty (Pfizer), Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca), Spikevax (Moderna) and Nuvaxovid (Novavax). AusVaxSafety is currently reporting safety data on Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Novavax COVID-19 vaccines. Data on this page will be updated fortnightly.

 

Reporting update - 9 January 2023
We recently identified duplication of a small number of COVID-19 vaccine safety surveys due to a data processing issue. The issue has been resolved and data this week reflect the true number of respondents, which has resulted in a slightly reduced number of respondents from the previous reporting period. Importantly, this has not changed the adverse event profile reported following COVID-19 vaccination.
