Abstract

The aim of the Vaccinovigilance system is the identification of adverse reactions and rare events after the use of immunological veterinary medicinal products. In the year 2017, 128 reports of adverse reactions following the application of various authorized vaccines were received and evaluated. The notifications were submitted primarily by marketing authorization holders (96) or veterinarians (27) and private persons (5). As in previous years, dogs were involved in most of the adverse effects (55%), followed by cattle (18%) and swine (10%). Unlike the previous years, significantly fewer reports were submitted on cats (8%). The correlation between reaction and vaccination was considered probable in 43% of the - cases.

Ziel des Vaccinovigilance-Meldesystems ist die Identifizierung unerwünschter Wirkungen, welche nach einer Anwendung von immunologischen Tierarzneimitteln (TAM) auftreten können. Im Jahr 2017 sind 128 Meldungen von im Handel zugelassenen immunologischen TAM eingereicht worden. Diese wurden entweder von den Zulassungsfirmen (96), praktizierenden Tierärzten (27) oder Privatpersonen (5) eingesandt. Wie in früheren Jahren betrafen die unerwünschten Wirkungen vorwiegend Hunde (55%) gefolgt von Rindern (18%) und Schweinen (10%). Im Gegensatz zu den Vorjahren liegen deutlich weniger Meldungen zu Katzen (8%) vor. In 43% aller eingegangenen Fälle wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen Reaktion und Impfung als wahrscheinlich beurteilt.

L’objectif du système d’annonces de vaccinovigilance est d’identifier les effets indésirables pouvant survenir à la suite de l’utilisation de médicaments vétérinaires immunologiques. En 2017, 128 notifications concernant des médicaments vétérinaires immunologiques approuvées commercialement ont été soumises. Elles ont été envoyés soit par les sociétés d’enregistrement (96), les vétérinaires praticiens (27) ou des particuliers (5). Comme les années précédentes, les effets indésirables concernent principalement les chiens (55%), suivis des bovins (18%) et des porcs (10%). Contrairement aux années précédentes, il y a beaucoup moins de rapports sur les chats (8%). Dans 43% des cas, la relation entre la réaction et le vaccin a été jugée probable.

Lo scopo del sistema di notifica di vaccinovigilanza è di identificare gli effetti indesiderati che possono sorgere dopo l’uso di medicamenti veterinari (Mvet) immunologici. Nel 2017 sono state presentate 128 notifiche di medicamenti immunologici per uso veterinario approvati commercialmente. Queste notifiche sono state inviate da società di omologazione (96), da veterinari (27) o da privati (5). Come negli anni precedenti, gli effetti indesiderati interessavano principalmente i cani (55%), seguiti dai bovini (18%) e dai suini (10%). Rispetto agli anni passati le segnalazioni per i gatti (8%) sono regredite notevolmente. Nel 43% dei casi ricevuti, la relazione tra la reazione e la vaccinazione è stata valutata come probabile.
