The federal regulatory agency took two years to re-implement website reporting system after concerns were raised by stakeholders with confusion around online reporting.
Health Canada says it received comments from health professionals and consumers in the spring of 2021 who were confused about how to report adverse events following immunization (AEFI), and that it took nearly two years to remedy these concerns.
In February 2023, Health Canada reinstated a direct link to its online reporting form after removing the link in December 2020.
The removal followed an “update” to the vaccine section of the “Report a side effect” web page that took place around the same time that the novel COVID-19 injections were being authorized under emergency use legislation.
Conservative MP Colin Carrie pressed the federal regulatory agency about this change through an order paper question in the house of commons
