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.

Among these reports, 12 mentioned death (24.49%) and 31 involved hospitalization (63.3%).
Myocardial infarction is the #476 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 49 reports of Myocardial infarction after Hepatitis B (Engerix-B) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 24.49% 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.
