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.

Among these reports, 1 mentioned death (11.11%) and 9 involved hospitalization (100.0%).
Gastrointestinal tube insertion is the #279 most frequently reported symptom for Rotavirus (Rotarix) out of 653 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 9 reports of Gastrointestinal tube insertion after Rotavirus (Rotarix) 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.
