This form is intended for persons living in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) or in other CARPHA Member States, who would like to submit a report of an unexpected or serious adverse event or adverse reaction that occurred with you or with someone you are a guardian for, after receiving a vaccine. Completion of this form is voluntary, and the information is sent to the country's Ministry of Health for follow up according to national policies. The patient's name does not need to be stated (initials may be used), but the name and contact of the reporter will be needed.
If the event being reported has not been medically confirmed, the person who is affected is advised to seek medical care or assistance from a health professional. Health professionals may submit their report using the form at: https://form.jotform.com/210037487099865
The report will be considered as 'preliminary' or 'unconfirmed', and it will be sent to the ministry of health for verification, as per national policies, procedures and criteria. CARPHA is not responsible for case follow-up at the local level.
We understand that you may not have all the details at the time of making the report, but the most important details we need are:
- a way to identify the patient (e.g. initials, alias),
- the age and sex of patient,
- a description of the reaction / event,
- the name of the vaccine,
- the date they got the vaccine,
- the date the reaction or event began
- the name and contact for the reporter, and
- the country where the person got the vaccine.
Of course, if you have more details, like other medicines taken recently, or if the person has recovered, please include them. Where you do not have the information for a field, you can state 'not available' or skip to the next field.
The Caribbean Public Health Agency is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. Information collected is subject to CARPHA's privacy policy. See the full policy at:https://carpha.org/Privacy.
