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.
8/13/2021- Date of 1st vaccination patient was already on menstrual cycle-no abnormal issues (heavy bleeding) during the 1st dose. Issues (heavy bleeding) noticed on or during 2nd dose, during menstrual. 9/3/2021- Date of 2nd vaccination; patient had her menstrual starting the 1st week of September; which was abnormal, o include heavy bleeding. After abnormal heavy bleeding cycle, patients menstrual cycle would stop for 2-3 days and start back heavy again after the 2-3 days. At this point; patient noticed extreme heavy bleeding. Patient being a teenager dealt with it thinking it was just a change that would go away; until she started having headaches, shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, and chest pains as well as the heavy menstrual cycle. Patient notified parents when dizziness and chest pains worsened. Parents scheduled medical appoint on 8 October 2021, and found out that day from the doctor that her hemoglobin (blood) levels were extremely low; causing for her to have a same day blood transfusion. Hospitalized 8 October 2021 @ 1pm for a blood transfusion, and released at 11:30 pm. Patient received 2 units of blood while hospitalized; as well as, ferrous sulfate 325 (65 FE) MG tablet, and norgestimate-ethinyl estradiol 0.25-35 MG-MCG tablet.
