title: Vaccine monitoring systems: A potential model for medications in pregnancy.
abstract: Multiple vaccine safety systems contribute to monitor and assess the safety of vaccines given to pregnant women and their offspring. This article presents a review of the strengths and limitations of several national vaccine safety systems. The review concludes that the present framework of vaccine safety systems offers lessons to be learned toward the design of a system for monitoring and assessing the safety of medications administered to pregnant women in clinical practice and research.
