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 13,012 reports of Pyrexia after DTaP vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The mortality rate of 1.24% warrants monitoring, though VAERS deaths represent temporal associations, not confirmed causal links.
