How do I report a COVID-19 vaccine adverse event?

Question: 

How do I report a COVID-19 vaccine adverse event?

Answer: 
Please report any adverse events following immunization (any untoward medical occurrence after a vaccine has been given that may or may not have been caused by the vaccine) to your immunization provider/clinic or health care provider. Health care providers are trained to report these events to the correct channels to monitor vaccine safety. Public health also reviews the event and will make a recommendation for future vaccination.
 
If you have questions about side effects or a possible reaction to the vaccine, contact HealthLinkBC by calling 8-1-1.
