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.
#396 most reported symptom for this vaccine
Varicella virus test positive has been reported 40 times in association with Pneumococcal (Prevnar13) vaccination in VAERS. This represents 0.1% of all 33,058 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 2 mentioned death (5.00%) and 15 involved hospitalization (37.5%).
Varicella virus test positive is the #396 most frequently reported symptom for Pneumococcal (Prevnar13) out of 1920 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 40 reports of Varicella virus test positive after Pneumococcal (Prevnar13) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 5.00% 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.
