As a member of the WHO Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) Working Group on COVID-19 Vaccines Safety Preparedness, Dr Sonali Kochhar from Global Healthcare Consulting helped to develop the WHO Covid-19 vaccines: safety surveillance manual (https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/10665338400). This provides safety surveillance guidance for COVID-19 vaccine introduction for governments, global, regional and national staff from immunization programmes, regulatory authorities, ministries of health, pharmacovigilance centres and vaccine manufacturers. The manual is being utilized globally for COVID-19 vaccine deployment.
