According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pharmacovigilance describes the science and efforts behind drug safety. This includes drug testing in clinical trials and the monitoring of side effects.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the primary authority for pharmacovigilance, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) monitors vaccine safety, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) performs additional research on drug safety.
