Why is it important?
The correct approach to causality assessment is important for the evaluation of cost/benefit ratio of vaccines and for compensation of persons who have suffered serious consequences.
Perspectives
I hope that this paper may become useful for a correct application of WHO guidelines of causality assessment of AEFI.
