More serious effects reported are:
- fainting
- blood clots
- strokes
- heart inflamation (myocarditis or pericarditis)

The Adverse Reporting Systems
Every country has some form of reporting System to collate reports of adverse events. These are described more fully elsewhere on this page. there role is to record and publish reports on trends occurring within the population, extracting information that could simply not be obserevd by individual doctors in the field.
It is important that every adverse reaction is reported.
Otherwise doctors, researchers, and public health officials will not be aware of any udnerlying issue that is hidden by symptoms that are simply attributed to another ailment. These can only be seen in what is called the “big data”, where trends associated with vaccination, or any other process, can be extracted from the overall picture.

CARM DATABASE
The CARM database provides New Zealand-specific information on adverse reactions to medicines and vaccines. CARM monitors and analyses the database for the identification of new signals, or important patterns, clusters or unusual events or practices that could have significance for medicine safety and prescribing practices in New Zealand.
These findings are considered by Medsafe and/or the Medicines Adverse Reactions Committee (MARC). This may result in further investigation and/or formal review which can lead to emphasising or changing relevant prescribing advice or other regulatory actions aimed at ensuring the safety of medicines registered in NZ

VAERS SYSTEM
VAERS is the USA’s early warning system that monitors the safety of vaccines after they are authorized or licensed for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The system is co-managed by CDC and FDA.
YELLOW CARD SYSTEM
In Britain, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) request that all suspected side effects to COVID-19 vaccines are reported via the dedicated coronavirus Yellow Card site.
The purpose of the Yellow Card Scheme is to provide early warning that the safety profile of a product requires further investigation. By reporting side effects, everyone can help provide more information on the safety of the vaccines.
