In Canada, we monitor vaccines to make sure they are safe and effective. Health Canada takes vaccine safety seriously and carefully tests all vaccines. Part of this monitoring includes reviewing all reported vaccine reactions. If you think you have reacted to a vaccine, follow up with a health care provider.
