 The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, in collaboration with the Pan-American Health Organization PAHO, hosted an eSavvy workshop aimed at strengthening the capacity of participants to detect, notify and investigate an event supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization eSavvy, according to the national guidelines. Chief Medical Officer Dr Sharon Belma George says this eSavvy workshop will allow for reviewing of the vaccination administration process and work towards strengthening the immunization program in synchrosion. Us setting up the eSavvy surveillance system will provide us with sufficient information in a very timely manner so that way we are able to register the side effects of the vaccines against the adverse reactions. Us having a system which the public knows is in place where every single from side effect to adverse reaction is recorded, it will put a lot of confidence in our health system that we are monitoring especially for the administration of new medication, new vaccines that there will be a lot more confidence in us and also in what we do. PAHO International Consultant for Vaccine Safety Dr Eden Augustus says this much needed and timely workshop will play a significant part in strengthening eSavvy's surveillance. Dr Augustus encouraged participants to take advantage of the workshop and apply the knowledge gained in their daily practices. This training today is yet one more example of PAHO's unwavering support for Caribbean countries in strengthening immunization programs. The objective of this training is to strengthen eSavvy national surveillance capacities using regional and global standards as a reference and using tools from epidemiology, data management and analysis and communication. In the Caribbean, eSavvy surveillance has been one of the weaker areas in the national immunization programs. The eSavvy workshop focused on areas such as data management and analysis, detection and notification, epidemiology and risk communication.
