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.
#201 most reported symptom for this vaccine
Oxygen saturation decreased has been reported 3,836 times in association with COVID-19 Vaccine vaccination in VAERS. This represents 0.3% of all 1,121,388 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 802 mentioned death (20.91%) and 2,482 involved hospitalization (64.7%).
Oxygen saturation decreased is the #201 most frequently reported symptom for COVID-19 Vaccine out of 9223 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 3,836 reports of Oxygen saturation decreased 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), Oxygen saturation decreased appears in only 0.3% of reports.
The 20.91% 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.
