Information on how the TGA monitors COVID-19 vaccine safety, reporting suspected side effects and COVID-19 safety updates.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is responsible for monitoring the safety of all vaccines approved for use in Australia. We closely assess safety data prior to approval, and continue to monitor the safety of vaccines after they are registered in Australia so that we can detect and respond to any safety concerns. This is known as 'pharmacovigilance'.
