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.

Seeing 1,214 reports of Influenza A virus test negative after COVID-19 Vaccine vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical. With 1,121,388 total reports for this vaccine (representing many millions of doses), Influenza A virus test negative appears in only 0.1% of reports.
The 5.52% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
