When a coronavirus vaccine arrives and Swedes can start getting vaccinated, a national vaccine registry will be established. Report from Swedish Radio Ekot.
The registry will collect information on who has been vaccinated, when it was done, and what vaccine was given, in order to speed up the discovery of possible and unusual side effects of the coronary vaccine.
– We plan to link the information from the vaccination record with information from other health data records, Ulla Wändel Liminga, scientific leader for drug safety at the Medical Products Agency, told radio.
The precedent of the registry is to avoid, as far as possible, a situation similar to the Pandemrix vaccine scandal, when hundreds of children suffered from narcolepsy after being vaccinated against swine flu.
– We cannot, with a go-ahead when you have a few thousand patients, rule out that something could happen when you have vaccinated a million people. It is impossible to do it beforehand, says Ulla Wändel Liminga.
