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.

What This Means

Seeing 5,733 reports of No adverse event after Pneumococcal (Pneumovax) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.

The mortality rate among these reports is very low at 0.07%, suggesting most cases are non-fatal.

Important Context

Association, not causation: These reports show No adverse event occurred after vaccination, not that the vaccine caused it.
Background rates: No adverse event 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 →
