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 90 reports of X-ray abnormal after DTaP + Hepatitis B + IPV (Pediarix) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The mortality rate of 4.44% warrants monitoring, though VAERS deaths represent temporal associations, not confirmed causal links.
