Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyPrimary aim: to generate incidence rates of patient-reported ADRs of COVID-19 vaccine brand in near real-time. Secondary aim: to describe differences in ADRs incidence rates between different vaccine batches used across the participating countries. In different countries, on the national level, data will be prospectively collected in near real-time, directly from a cohort of vaccine recipients. The common core data from different countries will be pooled and analysed at the European level. Vaccine recipients will be asked to fill in questionnaires at baseline, 1, 3, 5 and 8 weeks and 3 and 6 months after vaccination (from the first dose). The exact timing of the sending of the third questionnaire will depend on the vaccination interval between two doses. Safety data will be directly reported by vaccine recipients in their local language using the Lareb Intensive Monitoring (LIM) web app, which has been built specifically for patient-reported outcomes. Reported data from European countries using this LIM app can be stored in a dedicated central database. Data can also be collected nationally with non-LIM intensive monitoring tools/apps and countries can store and code data locally and share at regular intervals. ADR incidence rates within the vaccinated cohort will be reported cumulatively every month, overall and for the different vaccine brands, gender, age group, and countries. The protocol has been developed by the EU PE&PV research network as a deliverable of the framework contract No EMA/2018/28/PE with the European Medicines Agency.
