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.

Hepatic enzyme abnormal is the #521 most frequently reported symptom for Hepatitis B (Engerix-B) out of 2382 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 43 reports of Hepatic enzyme abnormal after Hepatitis B (Engerix-B) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 6.98% 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.
