After a vaccine is authorized or approved for use, many vaccine safety monitoring systems watch for adverse events(possible side effects). This continued monitoring can pick up on adverse events that may not have been seen in clinical trials. If an unexpected adverse event is seen, experts quickly study it further to assess whether it is a true safety concern. 2, record 1, English, - vaccine%20safety%20monitoring%20system

Parallel slalom is all about carving, so hard boots and plate bindings are used with a rigid board which can cut through the snow and give a stable and faster ride. To cut down on air resistance, riders lean into the turns and wear skin-tight suits. Most wear knee-height shin guards as they often hit the gates as they pass them, and helmets protect the head. 3, record 3, English, - parallel%20slalom

The purpose of shear testing is to determine the integrity of material and procedures used to attach two items together. This is done by applying a precisely applied and controlled shear force to the side of the item being tested. In the event of a failure, it is necessary to know the force at which the failure occurred. This information, along with the visual appearance of the separation, is used to determine the reason for the failure. 1, record 5, English, - shear%20testing
