Enhanced passive safety surveillance of a trivalent and a quadrivalent influenza vaccine in Denmark and Finland during the 2018/2019 season
The European Medicines Agency requires Enhanced Passive Safety Surveillance (EPSS) for all seasonal influenza vaccines. Here, we report the EPSS results for the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3; Vaxigrip®) and the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4; VaxigripTetraTM) during...

| description | The European Medicines Agency requires Enhanced Passive Safety Surveillance (EPSS) for all seasonal influenza vaccines. Here, we report the EPSS results for the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3; Vaxigrip®) and the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4; VaxigripTetraTM) during the 2018/19 influenza season in Denmark and Finland. The primary objective was to estimate the rates of suspected adverse reactions (ARs) occurring within 7 days following routine vaccination. Between October and November 2018, 1000 safety report cards (SRCs) for IIV3 were distributed in Denmark, and 996 SRCs for IIV4 were distributed in Finland. Participants were instructed to report any ARs by telephone or e-mail using the information provided on the SRC. All participants vaccinated with IIV3 were aged ≥18 years. Most participants vaccinated with IIV4 (95.5%) were aged 18 − 65 years, 2.2% were aged 6 months to 17 years, and 2.3% were aged >65 years. Fifty-five ARs were reported by 12 participants (1.2%) vaccinated with IIV3 and 162 ARs were reported by 53 participants (5.3%) vaccinated with IIV4. The most frequent ARs were vaccination site pain and fever for IIV3, and vaccination site pain, vaccination site inflammation, myalgia, and headache for IIV4. The 2018/19 AR rates for IIV3 were comparable to 2017/18 rates. The 2018/19 AR rates for IIV4 were higher than those in 2017/18 but were still lower than the expected AR rates listed in the IIV4 Summary of Product Characteristics. In conclusion, the 2018/19 EPSS showed no clinically significant change from the expected safety profiles of IIV3 and IIV4 vaccines. |
