Use of the causality algorithm for assessing causal relationship of 2 clinical examples of AEFIs. Example 1: The algorithm is applied for a case of varicella rash after varicella vaccine if vaccine strain virus is identified using advanced molecular techniques (blue squares). Example 2: The algorithm is applied for a case of ADEM after 2009 monovalent H1N1 vaccine if concurrent parainfluenza infection is identified in the patient (red circles). Note: The causality algorithm includes a different order of “steps”; however, the information obtained through comprehensive assessment can be inserted into the algorithm regardless of the order in which it was obtained.
