The study aims to implement and evaluate a patient-centred active surveillance program (SmartVax), for adverse event monitoring following influenza immunisation in pharmacy. One of the questions the study seeks to answer is “How can Western Australian community pharmacies contribute to active vaccine safety surveillance in Australia?”. All pharmacies identified on the Pharmacy Registration Board of Western Australia Premises Register will be invited to participate in this part of the study.
