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.

Seeing 14 reports of Skin necrosis after Varicella (Varivax) vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 21.43% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
