Resumen
FRANCO LACATO, Alex Omar; CHAPARRO MERIDA, Nataniel Aldo y PEREZ MARTIN, Oliver. Importance of post-marketing surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2024, vol.43 Epub 10-Abr-2024. ISSN 1561-3011.
Introduction:
Vaccination has been one of the most cost-effective health interventions, due to its impact on the control of immunopreventable diseases. The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 led to the worldwide development of more than two hundred vaccines in different phases of research with diverse platforms.
Objective:
To characterize the quality control assessment of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and adverse events of those approved against other pathogens at different stages of preclinical and clinical trials.
Methods:
We searched Google Scholar and PubMed/Medline for articles published between 1969 and March 2021. The most relevant articles were selected.
Development:
Vaccines were developed in a short time in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, without compromising the adequate control of clinical trials. Although they are safe, they are not free of adverse events; therefore, their safety should be monitored during the post-marketing process. Many of them have compromised their safety.
Conclusions:
Vaccines should possess proven immunogenicity, efficacy and safety. Adverse events can arise at any stage of research; therefore, post-marketing surveillance is essential.
