What happens to adverse events emailed directly to medsafe?
Matthew Shelton made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Matthew Shelton to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Matthew Shelton
Dear Ministry of Health,
Many people have reported emailing their covid jab adverse events directly to Medsafe's email address, rather than using the CARM system, especially in 2021.
What happens to those accounts?
Where are they logged?
What do they show and which public or private, passive or active pharmacovigilance systems are informed by them?
Yours faithfully,
Dr Matthew Shelton
