Adverse reactions to vaccines are unintended, undesirable responses occurring after immunization, ranging from common, self-limiting local and systemic effects such as injection-site redness, swelling, pain, fever, and malaise to rare severe events including anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity reactions. Distinguishing true causal reactions from coincidental events, and assessing severity, mechanism, and risk factors, is essential to vaccine safety, pharmacovigilance, and public confidence, and complements the broader monitoring of adverse drug reactions across therapeutics. Surveillance, causality assessment, and reporting systems underpin the continuous evaluation of benefit and risk. Research relevant to this area examines patterns and direct costs of adverse drug reactions to highly active antiretroviral therapy, toxicity of iodinated radiographic contrast agents, characterization of specific vaccines, cross-reactivity and hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and COX-2 inhibitors, vaccine hesitancy, drug-induced fever, and general issues in toxicology and drug safety. The journal publishes peer-reviewed work, grouped here under drug-resistant pathogen research and pharmacovigilance, addressing the recognition, mechanisms, and management of adverse reactions to vaccines and medicines, connecting clinical and epidemiological evidence on hypersensitivity, drug toxicity, and immunization safety to the surveillance and risk assessment that safeguard therapeutic and preventive interventions.
