The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has added new functions to the COVID-19 vaccine pharmacovigilance platform, which contains information on all vaccines in the process of being authorized.
The PAHO COVID-19 Vaccine Pharmacovigilance Dashboard is a platform that shows the process of introduction and safety of new vaccines, taking into account the phase they are in, the type of vaccine, the pharmaceutical company that develops it, among other data such as the storage temperature of each vaccine.
PAHO recently added new functions to the platform, such as direct access to information on the different vaccines, such as: general information, efficacy, vaccine efficacy on COVID-19 variants, and recommendations from reference entities.
According to the pharmacological surveillance board, there are currently 79 vaccines in Phase 1/2, 33 in ongoing Phase 3, three in Phase 3 with partially published studies, two in completed Phase 3 and five in Phase 3 with published studies and completed processes. In addition, the platform registers 12 vaccines for emergency use authorization implemented in 26 countries or regions.
The platform allows you to search for vaccines between the different phases by country, platform or type of vaccine, developer and authorization status. Also has dashboard regionally and globally specific.
In this way, practically all the available information on vaccines can be consulted and obtained on this platform, from the safety of the vaccine and its effectiveness and clinical studies to its manufacturing and authorization processes. Even specific conservation and use information is available on the dashboard.
“To facilitate the reading of the information on each vaccine and to have quick access to the main data on efficacy, safety and the specific recommendations of the main reference entities, in this new version of the dashboard it is possible to access this information in table format and download them to a PDF”, explained PAHO.
Another important aspect that was recently added is the visual guides on the number of doses or the correct temperature for storage.
