Immunisation anxiety-related reaction

An adverse event following immunisation arising from anxiety about the immunisation (see CIOMSWHO9).

In this definition immunisation means the usage (handling, prescribing and administration) of a vaccine for the purpose of immunising individuals (see CIOMS-WHO9 ), which in the EU is preferably referred to as vaccination (in the report of CIOMS/WHO Working Group on Vaccine Pharmacovigilance the terms immunisation and vaccination are used interchangeably9 ).
