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.
After the 1st dose, I had chills and had trouble walking. My legs moved incredibly slow. The arm pain lasted for 2-3 weeks and was INCREIDBLY bad. Soon after I got the additional vaccine (second dose) 5/4/21. I?ve been having bowel issues since then, and some numbing in limbs on and off.. but stomach issues every day... yesterday morning I thought I woke up with a HUGE migraine and nausea. Soon after I felt like my breathing was difficult. I felt like something was on my chest. I got up and took a shower/ didn?t work and I felt too weak. So I headed downstairs because my husband had just left. I grabbed my phone and felt like I should call an ambulance. My arm was going numb and my legs too. I woke up on the bathroom floor and dialed 911. My body was shutting down on me and I could feel it. Tingles all over my body. By the time the paramedics got there I couldn?t control my arms or legs AT ALL. My arms curled up into my chest mangled looking and so much pain. I couldn?t get words out and had ZERO ability to move my arms or legs, paramedics told me my PaC02 was 10. I am currently being evaluated and treated for a stroke with ZERO prior heart conditions. Additionally, I have a pain in my left arm where the injection was. Anything magnetic hurts it. Anything metal sticks to it. Forks, knives, Bobby pins, coins, magnets. They all stick to the site.
