Vomiting is the #5 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.

What This Means

Seeing 4,334 reports of Vomiting after Hepatitis B (Engerix-B) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.

The mortality rate of 2.10% warrants monitoring, though VAERS deaths represent temporal associations, not confirmed causal links.

Important Context

Association, not causation: These reports show Vomiting occurred after vaccination, not that the vaccine caused it.
Background rates: Vomiting may occur naturally at baseline rates in the population, unrelated to vaccination.
Anyone can report: VAERS accepts reports from anyone — patients, parents, healthcare providers — without requiring medical verification.
Denominator missing: VAERS counts reports, not rates per dose. Without knowing how many doses were given, raw counts can be misleading. Learn more →
