Understanding State-Level Data

Population drives volume: More populous states naturally have more reports.
State of reporter: Reports are attributed to where the reporter lives, which may differ from where vaccination occurred.
Reporting culture varies: States with more awareness of VAERS or mandated reporting may have higher per-capita rates.
