Active SMS-based surveillance of adverse events following immunisation with influenza and pertussis-containing vaccines in Australian pregnant women using AusVaxSafety.

CONCLUSIONS: Self-reported AEFI rates did not differ by trimester (IIV), or by vaccine brand (IIV or dTpa). Concomitant influenza and pertussis vaccination was associated with more frequent, but low rates of minor, expected AEFI. These real world 'citizen science-based' data provide further reassuring evidence of the safety of maternal vaccination.
