In preparation for the forthcoming integrated Measles,Rubella and Polio Campaign, the SPHCA and Partners organised a 1 day clinician Sensitization for Adverse Event Following Immunization ( AEFI).
An Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) is any untoward medical occurrence that follows immunization and does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the vaccine. It can be a mild or severe reaction, and may or may not be caused by the vaccine itself.

In other words, AEFI refers to any medical issue that arises after vaccination, whether or not it's directly related to the vaccine. Monitoring and investigating AEFIs helps ensure vaccine safety and effectiveness.
