VigiMobile forms have been developed together with WHO primarily for field reporting of suspected side effects from medicines and vaccines.  

Health workers can use the forms to record adverse events from medicines and adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) anytime, anywhere on any device, even without internet. As soon as they are back online, they can send reports directly to VigiFlow or VigiFlow for AEFI for further investigation.

VigiMobile forms are simple and straightforward to use. Each form has its own URL, which you can distribute via a direct link, button on your website, or QR code. They appear on screen as a separate icon when they are downloaded so your reporters have easy access to them.

Based on WHO’s standard reporting forms for medicines and vaccines, VigiMobile forms capture all the core variables recommended by WHO for evaluating adverse event and AEFI data. Required fields and drop-down menus make data entry more efficient, reliable, and accurate. Structured reporting also solves the challenge of converting unstructured information into a format compatible with VigiFlow, speeding up the analysis process. 

VigiMobile for AEFI features dropdown menus for easy and standardised data entry.

Get the data you want, how you want it, when you want it

Unlike paper-based systems, where reporting delays, missing reports, a lack of relevant information, and human error can be problematic, digital forms increase the accuracy of the information you receive and give you the data you need to start working. This saves time and reduces your administrative burden by removing the need for manual data entry and verification.

Depending on your national safety surveillance system setup, you can configure workflows in VigiFlow to automatically route reports to regional or district authorities. With just one click, authorised users can easily share reports with VigiBase, the WHO global database of adverse event reports for medicines and vaccines.
