Objective To analyze surveillance data for adverse events following immunization(AEFIs)in China during 2021-2022.Methods We obtained data on AEFI reports and numbers of post-marketed vaccine doses administered during 2021-2022 from the Chinese Immunization Information Management System(excluding emergency-use or conditional-market vaccines).We analyzed characteristics and reported incidences of AEFIs using descriptive epidemiological method.Results A total of 323 627 AEFI cases for 41 vaccines were reported in China during 2021-2022,yielding an overall incidence of 32.52 cases per 100 000 doses administered,with 0.15 per 100 000 doses(1 468 cases,0.45%)for serious AEFIs.The incidence per 100 000 doses was 31.07(309 163 cases,95.53%of all cases)for common adverse reactions and 1.14(11 381 cases,3.52%)for rare adverse reactions,with 0.08(759 cases,0.23%)for serious adverse reactions.Incidences per 100 000 doses for anaphylactic rash,angioedema,and thrombocytopenic purpura/thrombocytopenia were 0.96(9 528 cases),0.02(232 cases),and 0.02(230 cases),respectively.Conclusions The reported incidence of AEFIs deceased slightly in China in 2021-2022.Most adverse reactions were mild,and serious reactions were extremely rare.
