Sunday House Call, #766, November 22, 2020: Trust but verify for the new coronavirus vaccines

The effort to develop the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has been nothing short of remarkable. Within the next few months there should be some that receive approval for use. This will bring many logistical issues that require preparation given the unprecedented nature of a worldwide mass vaccination program. How should these programs be monitored and what should we expect from the vaccine rollouts? This will require pharmacovigilance.
