Bayesian learning of COVID-19 Vaccine safety while incorporating Adverse Events ontology [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
While vaccines are crucial to end the COVID-19 pandemic, public confidence in vaccine safety has always been vulnerable. Many statistical methods have been applied to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) database to study the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. However, all these methods ignored the adverse event (AE) ontology.
