The emergence of a novel influenza A virus in 2009 and the rapid introduction of new pandemic vaccines prompted an analysis of the current state of the adverse events following immunization (AEFI) surveillance response in several provinces.
To highlight aspects of the situational analysis of the Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors (MHHLS's) AEFI surveillance system and to demonstrate how common business techniques could be usefully applied to a provincial vaccine safety monitoring program.
Situational analysis of the AEFI surveillance system in Manitoba was developed through a strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis and informed by the National Immunization Strategy vaccine safety priorities. Strategy formulation was developed by applying the threats-opportunities-weaknesses-strengths (TOWS) matrix.
Thirteen strategies were formulated that use strengths to either take advantage of opportunities or avoid threats, that exploit opportunities to overcome weaknesses, or that rectify weaknesses to circumvent threats. These strategies entailed the development of various tools and resources, most of which are either actively underway or completed.
The SWOT analysis and the TOWS matrix enabled MHHLS to enhance the capacity of its vaccine safety program.
2009年新型甲型流感病毒出现，新型大流行疫苗迅速投入使用，促使对几个省份免疫接种后不良事件（AEFI）监测应对的现状进行分析。
突出马尼托巴省卫生、健康生活与老龄部（MHHLS）AEFI监测系统的态势分析要点，并展示常用业务技术如何能有效应用于省级疫苗安全监测项目。
通过优势-劣势-机会-威胁（SWOT）分析开展马尼托巴省AEFI监测系统的态势分析，并参考国家免疫战略疫苗安全重点事项。运用威胁-机会-劣势-优势（TOWS）矩阵制定战略。
制定了13项战略，利用优势抓住机会或规避威胁，利用机会克服劣势，或弥补劣势以规避威胁。这些战略需要开发各种工具和资源，其中大多数正在积极推进或已完成。
SWOT分析和TOWS矩阵使MHHLS能够提高其疫苗安全项目的能力。
