Data Source & Accuracy

  • Public Data: All data displayed comes from the publicly available VAERS database maintained by the CDC and FDA.
  • No Verification: VAERS accepts all reports without verifying medical accuracy. Reports do not prove causation between vaccines and adverse events.
  • Anyone Can Report: Healthcare providers, patients, family members, and anyone else can submit reports to VAERS.
  • Research Purpose: This data is for transparency, research, and monitoring vaccine safety signals only.

Your Privacy

  • No Personal Data Collection: This site does not collect, store, or track any personal information about visitors.
  • No Cookies: We do not use cookies except for remembering that you've seen this disclaimer (stored locally in your browser).
  • No Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics or any other tracking services.
  • Search Privacy: Your searches and filters are not logged or stored on our servers.
  • Public Data Only: The VAERS data shown here is already public and contains no personally identifiable information.

Medical Disclaimer

  • Not Medical Advice: This tool is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.
  • Consult Healthcare Providers: Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical decisions.
  • No Liability: We are not responsible for decisions made based on this data.

Data Interpretation

  • The presence of a report does not mean the vaccine caused the adverse event.
  • Coincidental events are often reported (e.g., a heart attack that happened to occur after vaccination).
  • Serious adverse events must be reported by law, even if unrelated to the vaccine.
  • The database is useful for detecting safety signals that require further investigation.

How to Search

๐Ÿ’ก Search Tips:
  • Select Year: Choose a specific year OR "All Years" to search across all data
  • All Years requires filters: When searching all years, you must select at least one filter (lot number, vaccine type, outcome, etc.) for performance
  • Lot number tracking: Use "All Years" + Lot Number to track lots across multiple years
  • Combine filters: Use multiple filters together to narrow results (e.g., Age + Vaccine Type + Death)
  • VAERS ID: Search for specific report by ID number
  • Age: Enter exact age (e.g., 25) or decimal (e.g., 0.5 for 6 months)
  • State: Enter 2-letter state code (e.g., CA, NY, TX)
  • Vaccine Type: Search partial names (e.g., "COVID19", "FLU", "HPV")
  • Manufacturer: Search by company (e.g., "PFIZER", "MODERNA")
  • Lot Number: Search specific vaccine lot (works great with "All Years")
  • Symptoms: Search for any symptom keyword (e.g., "fever", "rash")
  • Death/Hospitalized: Filter to only show cases with these outcomes

Understanding the Data

  • Reports are unverified: VAERS accepts all reports without medical verification
  • Not proof of causation: A report does not mean the vaccine caused the event
  • Anyone can report: Healthcare providers, patients, and family members can submit reports
  • Multiple vaccines: One report may list multiple vaccines given at the same time
  • Blank fields: Not all fields are required, so some data may be missing

Using the Table

  • Sort columns: Click column headers (ID, Age, Sex, Date, Died) to sort
  • Expand text: Click "More" to see full narrative or symptom text
  • Navigate pages: Use pagination controls at top and bottom of table
  • Export results: Click "๐Ÿ“ฅ Export CSV" to download filtered data (max 10,000 records)

๐Ÿ’ก Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is this site?

๐Ÿฅ VAERS Vaccine Data Browser is an independent, third-party data browser for publicly available VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) data.

Important: This site is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the CDC, FDA, or any government agency. We are an independent service that makes public VAERS data easier to search and analyze.

What is VAERS?

VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is a national early warning system established in 1990 to detect possible safety problems with vaccines. It's co-managed by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination.

Official VAERS website: vaers.hhs.gov

Is this data HIPAA compliant?

Yes, absolutely. All VAERS data displayed here is:

  • Publicly available - Published by the CDC/FDA on their official website
  • De-identified - Contains no personally identifiable information (names, addresses, contact info removed)
  • Legally accessible - Available to researchers, media, and the general public under FOIA (Freedom of Information Act)
  • Not protected health information - Once de-identified and published by the government, it's no longer covered by HIPAA restrictions

This site displays the same public data available at vaers.hhs.gov/data.

Why does this site exist?

We believe in transparency and public access to health data. While the CDC/FDA provide VAERS data, their official site:

  • Is difficult to search and filter
  • Requires downloading large CSV files and technical knowledge
  • Is not user-friendly for the average person

This independent site makes the same publicly available data easier to search, filter, and understand for researchers, journalists, healthcare workers, and concerned citizens.

Where does the data come from?

All data is downloaded directly from the official CDC/FDA VAERS website at vaers.hhs.gov/data.

The data is:

  • Publicly released by the CDC/FDA every week
  • Available as downloadable CSV files
  • Imported into this site's database for easier searching
  • Displayed exactly as provided (no modifications or filtering)

This site does not collect, modify, or add to the official VAERS data.

My vaccine lot number matches one with deaths/serious events - should I be worried?

Important context:

  • VAERS reports do NOT prove causation - A report means an event occurred after vaccination, but doesn't mean the vaccine caused it
  • Anyone can report - Reports are not verified for medical accuracy before being published
  • Coincidences happen - When millions of people get vaccinated, some will experience unrelated medical events afterward
  • Large lot numbers - Popular vaccines may have hundreds of thousands of doses from one lot number
  • More vaccinations = more reports - Lots used widely will naturally have more reports

What to do:

  • Don't panic - VAERS data requires expert analysis to interpret
  • Talk to your doctor if you have concerns
  • Check official CDC/FDA safety communications for genuine safety signals
  • Remember: billions of vaccine doses have been safely administered

Can I trust VAERS data?

VAERS is valuable but has limitations:

Strengths:

  • โœ… Early warning system for potential safety signals
  • โœ… Open and transparent - publicly accessible
  • โœ… Accepts all reports regardless of likelihood of causation
  • โœ… Monitored by CDC/FDA experts who investigate concerning patterns

Limitations:

  • โš ๏ธ Reports are unverified - not investigated before publication
  • โš ๏ธ Cannot determine if vaccine caused the event
  • โš ๏ธ Underreporting - not all adverse events are reported
  • โš ๏ธ Overreporting - coincidental events may be reported
  • โš ๏ธ Incomplete data - not all fields are required

Bottom line: VAERS is an important tool for safety monitoring, but individual reports should not be used as proof that a vaccine caused harm.

What are "adverse events"?

An adverse event is any undesirable health occurrence that happens after vaccination, including:

  • Common reactions: Sore arm, mild fever, fatigue (usually expected)
  • Serious events: Hospitalization, disability, life-threatening illness, death
  • Coincidental events: Medical conditions that would have occurred anyway

Important: An adverse event doesn't mean the vaccine caused it - only that it occurred after vaccination. Many reported events are coincidental or unrelated.

Why are some lot numbers listed multiple times?

This is normal and expected! A person may receive multiple doses of the same vaccine from the same lot number:

  • COVID vaccines require 2-3 doses
  • HPV, Hepatitis B, and other vaccines have multi-dose schedules
  • Each dose is recorded as a separate entry

Example: Person receives Pfizer COVID dose 1 (lot ABC123) and dose 2 (lot ABC123) - lot ABC123 appears twice in their report.

How often is this data updated?

The CDC/FDA releases new VAERS data every Friday. This site is typically updated:

  • Weekly or bi-weekly for recent data
  • Check the available years to see what data is currently loaded
  • During updates, the site may be in maintenance mode temporarily

This case was associated with a product complaint. On an unknown date, the patient received Shingrix. On an unknown date, an unknown time after receiving Shingrix, the patient experienced incomplete dose administered (Verbatim: diluent to contain only 0.4 ml), product packaging quantity issue (Verbatim: reconstitute two of the vaccines in the box with the same results) and pharmaceutical product complaint (Verbatim: Product complaint). The outcome of the incomplete dose administered, product packaging quantity issue and pharmaceutical product complaint were not applicable. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 04-MAY-2025 The pharmacist reported that while reconstituting Shingrix vaccine, he/she found the diluent to contain only 0.4 ml which would not yield the 0.5 ml dose for the final vaccine which led to incomplete dose of vaccine administered and product packaging quantity issue. The pharmacist tried to reconstitute two of the vaccines in the box with the same results. The Medical Information team is submitting to safety out of abundant caution. As this potential product quality complaint (PQC) was noted during reconstitution of two doses within this box, this is being submitted as a potential near miss event. Even though the pharmacist does not provide patient details or state that the doses were administered, as the vaccine was being reconstituted, it is assumed there was a patients involved. More

The vaccine record from pharmacy incorrectly states that the injection was given in my left arm. I objected to that since I am left-handed and he gave me the vaccine in my right arm but obviously never changed the record. I was prepared for my arm to be sore. The next day and for many days after the muscle at the injection site felt like a shard of hot glass had been inserted into it. I could not put any wait on it for months. Now, my arm still hurts at the injection site, not as bad as at first but it is still there and I now have this weird welt on my back on the same side connection to the muscle at the injection site. Also, I have crippling fatigue. More

Her medical history was not reported. Historical drugs included Prevnar 20 (Pneumococcal vaccine conj 20v (CRM197)), bacitracin, and Gentamycin (Gentamicin). The patient's concurrent conditions included hypothyroidism. Allergies included bacitracin, and Gentamycin (Gentamicin), nickel, and gold. Concomitant medications included Cyanocobalamin, Levothyroxine, Vitamin D2, and Valaciclovir. On 23-Mar-2023, the patient was vaccinated with the first dose of Pneumococcal Vaccine, Polyvalent (23-valent) (PNEUMOVAX 23), Solution for injection, as prophylaxis (dose, route of administration, lot #, and expiration date were not reported), after which, there was no reaction (she also received Prevnar 20 (Pneumococcal vaccine conj 20v (CRM197)) on 13-Mar-2024, also with no reaction). On 26-Mar-2025, the patient was vaccinated with the second dose of Pneumococcal Vaccine, Polyvalent (23-valent) (PNEUMOVAX 23) (lot #Y016291, that was a valid lot number for Pneumococcal Vaccine, Polyvalent (23-valent); expiration date: 06-Dec-2026), at a dose of 0.5 mL once, administered by intramuscular route in the right arm as pneumococcal prevention (Inappropriate schedule of vaccine administered). On the same day (conflicting information, also reported as about 24 hours after she was administered the vaccine), her right arm became red, swollen, and painful from where the injection was given all the way down to her right antecubital and even across the right side of her chest (Vaccination site erythema) (Vaccination site swelling) (Vaccination site pain) (Chest pain). On that day (also reported as when her symptoms began), she went to her doctor's office and they gave her an antibiotic injection of Rocephin (ceftriaxone) and a steroid injection (unspecified). She prescribed her prednisone 25 mg daily for 5 days, doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 10 days, and a topical cream (unspecified) as needed. On an unspecified date in April 2025 (reported as about a week later, after she had the suspect vaccine's injection), she developed a red, painful lump on her right leg on the inner side just above the knee, so she went to see her vascular doctor on 03-Apr-2025 and they did an ultrasound which just showed inflammation (Inflammation localised). As a result of these events, her doctor told her that she would no longer be getting Pneumococcal Vaccine, Polyvalent (23-valent) (PNEUMOVAX 23) injections. Patient stated that all her issues had all resolved now (on an unspecified date in April 2025, for inflammation localized and on an unspecified date in 2025, for the remaining events). The causal relationship between all the events and the suspect vaccine was not provided. Lot # is being requested and will be submitted if received. More
