⚠️
Important: VAERS reports alone cannot determine if a vaccine caused an adverse event. Reports may contain incomplete, inaccurate, or unverified information. Correlation does not equal causation.
Vaccine Severity Profile
Select any vaccine to see its complete outcome profile — recovery rates, hospitalization rates, death reporting rates, and how they compare to the average across all vaccines.
⚠️ Critical Context
- • These are reporting rates, not actual risk rates. VAERS captures a subset of adverse events — the actual incidence may be higher or lower.
- • "Higher than average" does NOT mean dangerous. Vaccines given to older/sicker populations will naturally have higher severity rates.
- • Recovery data is often incomplete. Many reporters never submit follow-up, so "not recovered" may just mean "no update filed."
- • Always consider the denominator — a vaccine given to 300 million people will have very different report rates than one given to 1 million.
