Safety profile of inactivated COVID-19 in healthy adults aged ≥ 18 years: A passive surveillance in Indonesia.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in Indonesia has shown effectiveness in reducing the morbidity and mortality of Covid-19. The study aims to evaluate the incidence rate and severity of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine during the first quarter of 2021 until the second quarter of 2022 in Indonesia. More than two hundred million Sinovac/CoronaVac were given from January 13th, 2021, until June 30th, 2022.

Safety profile of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in indonesian adults.

Background: Vaccines are urgently needed to handle the morbidity and mortality of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The inactivated vaccine is widely used in Indonesia's national immunization program due to its eligibility of stock, easier to transport, and considered to be more established than newer platforms. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety profile of the inactivated vaccine and analyze the safety profile between adults and the elderly.
