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.
#230 most reported symptom for this vaccine
Nystagmus has been reported 18 times in association with Polio (Oral) vaccination in VAERS. This represents 0.1% of all 27,089 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 2 mentioned death (11.11%) and 11 involved hospitalization (61.1%).
Nystagmus is the #230 most frequently reported symptom for Polio (Oral) out of 558 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 18 reports of Nystagmus after Polio (Oral) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 11.11% 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.
