Abstract

Vaccination has been one of the most effective public health interventions in human history, saving countless lives and reducing the burden of infectious diseases. However, as with any medical intervention, vaccines can sometimes lead to adverse events following immunization (AEFI). This article explores the current trends, the latest autopsy protocols, the Indian scenario, and statistical insights into AEFI. Understanding and addressing AEFI is essential to maintain public trust in vaccination programs. Vaccine related deaths need to be investigated properly and exact cause of death can be determined with autopsy.
