OTIS Teams Up With Other Renowned Experts To Study Vaccine & Medication Safety In Pregnancy

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The Organization of Teratology Information Specialists, together with the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology (AAAAI) and Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University (SEC), has launched a nationwide surveillance system to examine the safety of vaccines and medication during pregnancy. The Vaccines and Medications in Pregnancy Surveillance System (VAMPSS) will initially focus on the effects of vaccines such as the H1N1 and seasonal influenza. In addition, VAMPSS will examine influenza anti-viral and asthma medications during pregnancy. To read more about VAMPSS click here.
