Track Adverse Events
An illustrative guide to using the Adverse Events feature
Overview
While administering the dose to a beneficiary (usually children), there can be instances when the beneficiary shows some symptoms against the dose provided. These adverse events need to be recorded and monitored as they help to take precautionary measures for further doses as well as in future campaigns for that beneficiary. It is helpful for cases when a beneficiary's situation becomes critical and he/she need to be referred to a healthcare facility. This is also crucial for resource tracking because, in certain campaigns, the beneficiary can be re-administered the dose even after they vomit out the medicine.
