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.
#1003 most reported symptom for this vaccine
Sputum culture positive has been reported 13 times in association with COVID-19 Bivalent (Moderna) vaccination in VAERS. This represents 0.0% of all 42,946 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 3 mentioned death (23.08%) and 12 involved hospitalization (92.3%).
Sputum culture positive is the #1003 most frequently reported symptom for COVID-19 Bivalent (Moderna) out of 2434 total symptoms.
Disclaimer: VAERS reports describe events that occurred after vaccination but do not establish that the vaccine caused the event. Many reported symptoms may be coincidental or related to underlying conditions.
Seeing 13 reports of Sputum culture positive after COVID-19 Bivalent (Moderna) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 23.08% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
This data comes from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), jointly managed by CDC and FDA.
