Description

We may need more granularity within the immunological domain MedicalAction.adverse_events:
In here the severity of the adverse events may be helpful, e.g., Individual Y had a severe post-vaccine infection after HPV vaccination, but mild for yellow fever. Individual Z had a mild post-vaccine infection after Pneu-C-15 vaccine, but a severe Guillón Barré Syndrome after the Covid Vaccination.

Research direction

Locate MedicalAction.adverse_events in the schema and review its current representation. Use the vaccine and adverse-event examples to clarify the required severity model, then confirm that the agreed schema change can represent different severities for each event.
