What Methods are Used in Post Market Surveillance?
Several methods are employed in PMS, including:
Passive Surveillance: This involves voluntary reporting of adverse events by healthcare providers and the public. Active Surveillance: This includes proactive approaches like patient registries and follow-up studies. Sentinel Surveillance: This method uses selected reporting sites to monitor vaccine safety and effectiveness. Phase IV Clinical Trials: These are post-marketing studies to gather additional information about a vaccine’s risks, benefits, and optimal use.
