PMID:  Arch Pediatr. 2006 Feb ;13(2):175-80. Epub 2005 Dec 15. PMID: 16343870 Abstract Title:  [Pharmacovigilance of vaccines]. Abstract:  Safety of vaccines must be excellent to make vaccine's strategy acceptable, since it usually has a deferred individual benefit but immediate adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Pharmacovigilance of vaccines after their marketing is crucial because, prior to its …

PMID:  Contact Dermatitis. 1988 Mar ;18(3):143-6. PMID: 3365966 Abstract Title:  Allergy to non-toxoid constituents of vaccines and implications for patch testing. Abstract:  We report 3 patients with persistent symptoms at vaccination sites. All were allergic to aluminium and one to thiomersal and neomycin too. Aluminium allergy causes false positive patch test reactions and we propose …

PMID:  Curr Allergy Rep. 2001 Jan ;1(1):11-7. PMID: 11899279 Abstract Title:  Allergenic components of vaccines and avoidance of vaccination-related adverse events. Abstract:  Vaccines have had a dramatic effect on the prevalence of communicable diseases, but, in selected individuals, the injection presents a risk of anaphylaxis. Fortunately, most people have no allergic reactions to vaccines. In …

PMID:  Allergol Immunopathol (Madr). 2003 May-Jun;31(3):125-38. PMID: 12783762 Abstract Title:  [Adverse reactions to vaccines]. Abstract:  Adverse reactions to vaccines are highly varied, ranging from mild local reactions to fatal outcomes. In the last few years many adverse reactions have been attributed to vaccines, often without justification. In agreement with the World Health Organization, these reactions …
