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.

Pharyngitis is the #575 most frequently reported symptom for HPV (Gardasil 9) out of 1593 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 13 reports of Pharyngitis after HPV (Gardasil 9) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 23.08% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
