The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national system used in the United States to monitor the safety of vaccines after they are authorized or licensed for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is an important tool for ensuring public health and is used to collect and analyze information about adverse events that may be associated with vaccines. Medical assistants and healthcare providers are responsible for reporting any clinically significant adverse event following vaccination to VAERS to help ensure the safety of vaccines and to identify potential public health concerns.
