Abstract: Objective To analyze the report incidence and distribution characteristics of the adverse events following immunization (AEFI) in Beihai City from 2017 to 2021. Methods Through the national AEFI information management system and Guangxi immunization planning information management system,the AEFI case information and vaccination data in Beihai City from 2017 to 2021 were collected for descriptive epidemiological analysis. Results From 2017 to 2021,232 AEFI cases of various vaccines were reported in Beihai City,and the timely reporting rate and timely investigation rate were 97.84% and 100.00%,respectively. The total reported incidence of AEFI was 5.49/100 000 doses,of which the reported incidence of general reactions was 3.43/100 000 doses and the reported incidence of abnormal reactions was 1.68/100 000 doses. The difference in the reported incidence of different types of reactions was statistically significant(P<0.05). Among the reported AEFI cases,there were more males than females,the age was mainly <1 years old,the peak season was April to September,and the region was predominantly Haicheng District. The differences in gender,age,time of occurrence and regional distribution were statistically significant(all P<0.05). The national immunization program vaccine with the highest reported incidence was the Diphtheria,tetanus and acellular pertussis combinedvaccine(DTaP) with a rate of 17.12/100 000 doses,and the non-national immunization program vaccine with the highest reported incidence was combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliovirus-Haemophilus influenza type b(Hib) conjugate vaccine(DTaP-IPV-Hib),with a rate of 69.68/100 000 doses. 87.93% of AEFI cases distributed within 1 day of vaccination,and the incidence of reported abnormal reactions was higher for allergic rash,BCG lymphadenitis and angioedema. Conclusions The overall monitoring quality of AEFI in Beihai City from 2017 to 2021 meets the national monitoring requirements,but the monitoring sensitivity needs to be strengthened. The AEFI cases are mainly general reactions,and the reported incidence is within the expected range. It is recommended that the active monitoring should be strengthened in the future to further improve the quality of AEFI monitoring.
