VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.
The strengths of VAERS are that it is national in scope and can quickly provide an early warning of a safety problem with a vaccine. As part of CDC and FDA’s multi-system approach to post-licensure vaccine safety monitoring, VAERS is designed to rapidly detect unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse events, also known as “safety signals.” If a safety signal is found in VAERS, further studies can be done in safety systems such as the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) or the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) project. These systems do not have the same scientific limitations as VAERS, and can better assess health risks and possible connections between adverse events and a vaccine.
Key considerations and limitations of VAERS data:
VAERS data available to the public include only the initial report data to VAERS. Updated data which contains data from medical records and corrections reported during follow up are used by the government for analysis. However, for numerous reasons including data consistency, these amended data are not available to the public.
He became very confused about time, went into the bathroom to brush his teeth 2 days after his 1st Pfizer shot and would not stop brushing his teeth for 30 hours. His parents tried to get him to stop several times. He only stopped because his parents finally called 911 to have someone help remove him from the bathroom. His gums were bleeding and he was limping a bit from standing at the sink brushing his teeth for so long. He was taken to the ER, his vitals looked good overall but he was dehydrated. Hospital could not explain why he did that, what was happening inside his brain. He could also not explain why he did that when asked. Very upsetting for his parents and siblings who felt they had no control over stopping him. It was mentioned he might need a neurological specialist. He improved once home. Seems he got very confused about time, did not understand how long he had been brushing his teeth and could not be reasoned with. He mentioned in the car on the way home from the ER with his dad that he still needed to brush his teeth once home. This scared his dad and his dad took him to go eat a meal outside of the home and that seemed to break up the time loop in patient's head. When they returned home patient no longer tried to brush his teeth for a long period of time.
