What is a Yellow Card report?

A Yellow Card report is how healthcare professionals and the public can report suspected side effects or adverse reactions to medicines, vaccines, or medical devices in the UK. The story mentions over 200 deaths reported via this scheme. It's crucial to remember that a report only indicates a suspected link, not confirmed causation, allowing the MHRA to investigate potential issues.
