COVID-19 pandemic has brought the vibrant and vivacious human life to a grinding halt. Only a safe and effective vaccine will bring this dicey situation back to normalcy. Researchers across the globe are at present working hard to find an effective vaccine for COVID-19. However, in search of an effective vaccine at the earliest possible time to combat the epidemic, we cannot afford to compromise on the safety of it. Therefore, monitoring the safety of vaccines is a top priority to safeguard the health of vaccine recipients and only a robust vaccine pharmacovigilance can ably do that in this crisis.
