I wrote it when President Trump, who also courted the antivaccine voice, was addressing this. https://shotofprevention.com/2017/01/11/multiple-vaccine-oversight-committees-ensure-our-public-safety/ … He ended up walking back from an antivaccine position.

There are also at least three vaccine safety monitoring systems, one passive surveillance and two with active surveillance that monitor adverse events after vaccination without requiring the patient or health care provider to report them.

Three active monitoring. VSD, PRISM, which I think you had in mind, are the main ones, but I think CISA, with its focus on special issues - vulnerable populations, special adverse events - should also count. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/cisa/index.html … https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/cisa/index.html#activities …

Fair enough. I forgot about CISA.

I should have said two active systems run by the CDC and one by the FDA.
