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.

Oxygen saturation decreased has been reported 36 times in association with Pneumococcal (Prevnar) vaccination in VAERS. This represents 0.1% of all 27,970 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 2 mentioned death (5.56%) and 25 involved hospitalization (69.4%).
Oxygen saturation decreased is the #341 most frequently reported symptom for Pneumococcal (Prevnar) out of 1407 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 36 reports of Oxygen saturation decreased after Pneumococcal (Prevnar) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 5.56% 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.
