This form HLTH 2319 is published by the Ministry of Health to facilitate reporting by health care providers to their local health unit. After filling and printing the form, submit it to your local health unit office, or send/fax to the central office in your jurisdiction. Data from the form are to be entered into iPHIS or PARIS by public health staff. Criteria for reporting and management of adverse events are found in Section 9 of the Immunization Program Manual. Guidelines for public health staff for entering AEFI data into iPHIS are located on PartnerNet (password required) under 3.0 Immunization Policies under item 3.10 Guidelines fo the reporting of vaccine adverse events. |
