In May 2020, the Commission on Human Medicines established an Expert Working Group (EWG) to advise the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on its safety monitoring strategy for COVID-19 vaccine(s).
The EWG held four meetings from May to October 2020, during which it considered proposals and methodologies for MHRA-led vigilance activities.
Based on this advice, the MHRA has developed, and now has in place, a four-stranded approach to vigilance, which is summarised in this report.
