What This Means

Seeing 5,623 reports of Agitation after Hib (Pedvaxhib) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.

The mortality rate of 2.21% warrants monitoring, though VAERS deaths represent temporal associations, not confirmed causal links.

Important Context

Association, not causation: These reports show Agitation occurred after vaccination, not that the vaccine caused it.
Background rates: Agitation 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 →
