V-Damage UK: Yellow Card Analysis


Project Summary


In the United Kingdom, the Yellow Card scheme collects and monitors reports of suspected safety concerns or incidents related to medicines, vaccines, medical devices, and e-cigarettes. It is operated by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care. Healthcare professionals and members of the public can voluntarily report these concerns or incidents.

The scheme serves as an early warning system for identifying products that may require further investigation. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the MHRA has established a coronavirus-specific Yellow Card site where healthcare professionals and patients can report suspected side effects to medicines, COVID-19 vaccines (both current and future), and incidents involving medical devices.

These COVID-19 vaccine-related Yellow Cards information summaries and reports started in February 2021, delivered on weekly basis until end of 2022, and are now delivered monthly. These information have stats on applied doses and the side effects for the different vaccines manufacturers. We have over 80 html summaries and 220 pdf reports delivered from MHRA since the beginning to analise.

The main objective of the this Yellow Card analysis is to provide a detailed timeline on vaccine side effects and correlate this information with the same chain of events occurring in US. This is a significant task.



Project Deliverables

  1. Search and collect Yellow Cards Reports (html summaries and pdf reports) related to effects from Covid-19 vaccines carried out by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency);
  2. Compile Covid vaccination data from Yellow Cards and ONS (Office for National Statistics) sources;
  3. Compile side effects data by evaluation of Yellow Cards information available;
  4. Create databases with compiled ready for analisys data;
  5. Perform data analisys;
  6. Build analisys report and integrate new analises to V-Damage website;
  7. Design and build a dashboard to query and download booth compiled raw and analised data;


Project Timeline

We expect to finish this project in 9 months.

Months 1 to 3:
  • Collect and compile Yellow Cards Data.
  • Compile Covid vaccination data from Yellow Cards and ONS sources.
  • Compile side effects data by evaluation of Yellow Cards information available.
Months 2 to 8:
  • Create databases with compiled ready for analisys data.
  • Perform analysis and investigate chains of side effects and vaccination relationship.
  • Build analisys report and integrate to V-Damage website.
Months 3 to 9:
  • Design and build a dashboard to query and download booth compiled raw and analised data.


Project Costs

The costs to consider are values that represents fraction of the effective costs that are shared with other projects.

Research and data management (800 man-hour - 20,000 USD)
  • Data collecting, cleaning, processing (data management and API development);
  • Data analysis and modeling (data architecture implementation and data visualization).
Research and report production (200 man-hour - 5,000 USD)
  • Convert technical data analisys to a report, simplifying scientific language for better comprehension;
  • Collaborate with data analysts to validate the information presented in the report, ensuring that the content is not misrepresented while also improving the language proficiency.
Development, maintenance, and support costs (400 man-hour - 12,500 USD)
  • Maintenance and support of the website, including fixing bugs and updating the software and databases;
  • Ensure the security of the website and the data stored on it, implementing firewalls, encrypting sensitive data, and securing access to the website;
  • Data architecture implementation.
Hosting and infrastructure (3,190 USD):
  • Licenses for development tools, frameworks, and libraries will be largely open source but some cloud services, security and IDE subscription libraries may have associated costs.
  • Host and run the website, rent server space, set up databases, and configure networks. Data storage and processing infrastructure will rely on cloud storage or an on-premises data center.
Total estimates costs are: 40,690 USD.
