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.
#278 most reported symptom for this vaccine
Platelet count increased has been reported 86 times in association with DTaP vaccination in VAERS. This represents 0.1% of all 66,714 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 1 mentioned death (1.16%) and 54 involved hospitalization (62.8%).
Platelet count increased is the #278 most frequently reported symptom for DTaP out of 1943 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 86 reports of Platelet count increased after DTaP vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The mortality rate of 1.16% warrants monitoring, though VAERS deaths represent temporal associations, not confirmed causal links.
This data comes from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), jointly managed by CDC and FDA.
