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.

Respiratory disorder is the #281 most frequently reported symptom for Pneumococcal (Pneumovax) out of 2065 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 76 reports of Respiratory disorder after Pneumococcal (Pneumovax) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 9.21% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
