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.
Patient was coded and expired Code Blue: Patient was in dialysis, after 30 minutes his sbp dropped to 60s he was given 4 albumin. Patient who was responsive before that became unresponsive, had seizure like activity, lost pulse and spontaneous breathing. HD stopped. Code called. Cpr started. A few minutes into cpr patient started to profusely bleed - gi bleed and ventilation became very hard., intubation was very difficult and ventilation hard as we suctioned large amounts of aspirated blood. Patient was eventually intubated. More than 8 doses of epi ws given, sodium bicarbonate * 2 given with continuous cpr. It was mostly PEA with one shockable rhythym. And shock delivered for vfib. patient continued to profusely bleed, og insertion was not successful and effective ventilation was very tough due to massive aspiration,. Possible variceal rupture with cpr from his cirrhosis is likely scenario. After 30 minutes of unsuccessful ventilation and acls protocol. Code was stopped.
