Medical - Medical (general) / Vaccination record
Romanian term or phrase: RAPI*
This is the vaccination booklet for a new-born baby. There are several tables, showing the details of the vaccinations, follow up appointments scheduled etc. The final column reads RAPI*. The other columns are just for the date, series and name of vaccination etc.
There is footnote for the asterisk(*) but the first one or two words are missing, so it says something like:
"....???erse postvaccinale indezirabile (tip, conform, classificarii, in vigoare in Romana data/debut."

Post-vaccination adverse reactions


Explanation:
"Adverse" is a different concept from "side effect" in English, as pointed out in the Pharmacy Times article below:

"'Adverse Event,' Not the Same as 'Side Effect'
2017-02-22 04:21:50
Shelby Leheny, BS, PharmD Candidate 2017
Adverse events are unintended pharmacologic effects that occur when a medication is administered correctly while a side effect is a secondary unwanted effect that occurs due to drug therapy.
It is a common misconception that adverse events and side effects are the same thing."

The same applies for "adverse reactions": it's a different concept from side effects. A side effect may even be positive. Consequently, I would translate this literally as "adverse reactions"

"Undesirable" is redundant in English because it is understood that an adverse reaction is of an undesirable nature and adverse/undesirable are synonymous in English, as shown in this Wikipedia definition:
"An adverse effect is an undesired harmful effect resulting from a medication or other intervention"
