If you are registering you will be asked to read, and agree to, the signing up details and privacy statement before progressing. If you are logged in, select ‘My account’.
The purpose of this programme
The vaccine monitor is a data collection programme where individuals can register before receiving a vaccine. Participants will then be actively followed up after they have received a COVID-19 vaccination for information on their experience.
The MHRA also run the Coronavirus Yellow Card reporting site, for reporting suspected side effects to medicines or device incidents used in this pandemic, which anyone can report to.
How this site differs from other COVID-19 websites and apps
There are a number of COVID-19 Apps available; including NHS Covid-19 and the COVID Symptom Study app. The Yellow Card Vaccine Monitor is a standalone data collection platform which does not directly link to other COVID-19 websites or apps.
COVID-19 Vaccines
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases and they save millions of lives worldwide. Like all medicines, vaccines can cause side effects. Most of these are mild and short-term, and not everyone gets them.
MHRA is responsible for continuously monitoring the safety of all medicines and vaccines once they are approved for use.
We have published a report summarising information received via the Yellow Card scheme which will be published regularly to include other safety investigations carried out by the MHRA under the COVID-19 Vaccine Surveillance Strategy.
More information on the possible side effects of Covid-19 vaccinations is available on the NHS website.
