For almost 25 years the Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program, ACTive (IMPACT) has been conducting active surveillance for severe adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) and vaccine-preventable diseases in children. The network, which consists of volunteer paediatric infectious diseases investigators at 12 tertiary care paediatric hospitals, is an important component of Canada's AEFI monitoring. The network employs nurses at each of the sites to search for and report possible AEFIs to local, provincial and national public health authorities. The active nature of the surveillance ensures a high level of vigilance for severe AEFIs in children.
近25年来，加拿大免疫监测项目“主动监测（IMPACT）”一直在对儿童免疫接种后的严重不良事件（AEFIs）和疫苗可预防疾病进行主动监测。该网络由12家三级护理儿童医院的志愿儿科传染病研究人员组成，是加拿大AEFI监测的重要组成部分。该网络在每个站点都雇佣了护士，以寻找并向地方、省级和国家公共卫生当局报告可能的AEFIs。监测的主动性确保了对儿童严重AEFIs的高度警惕。
