Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System 2017
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) 2017 was created by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to receive reports about adverse events that may be associated with vaccines. No prescription drug or biological product, such as a vaccine, is completely free from side effects.

Description
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a passive reporting system, meaning that reports about adverse events are not automatically collected, but require a report to be filed to VAERS. VAERS reports can be submitted voluntarily by anyone, including healthcare providers, patients, or family members. Reports vary in quality and completeness. They often lack details and sometimes can have information that contains errors. About 85-90% of vaccine adverse event reports concern relatively minor events, such as fevers or redness and swelling at the injection site. The remaining reports (less than 15%) describe serious events, such as hospitalizations, life-threatening illnesses, or deaths. The reports of serious events are of greatest concern and receive the most careful scrutiny by VAERS staff. VAERS researchers apply procedures and methods of analysis to help them closely monitor the safety of vaccines. When a concern arises, action is taken. The hope is that this brief explanation of the factors associated with vaccines and adverse events will assist users in understanding the data they are viewing.
Vaccines protect many people from dangerous illnesses, but vaccines, like drugs, can cause side effects, a small percentage of which may be serious. VAERS is used to continually monitor reports to determine whether any vaccine or vaccine lot has a higher than expected rate of events.

After 48 hours of him not walking at all and then I noticed swelling in his left knee (same leg as vaccine) went back to Dr's office, Dr took blood work and x-rays. Dr spoke to Ortho Nurse Practitioner and they advised to give Motrin thru the holiday weekend. My son began to walk, with a bad limp on Fri 12/23. On Tues 12/27, went to see the Ortho Nurse Practitioner (b/c Dr was on vac), she did more blood work. On Wed received a call from my Ped. & she advised me to go to hospital. They did more blood work, ultrasound, and x-rays. Then drew fluid from knee. After that test came back they admitted us due to a bacterial infection in the knee. My son had surgery the next day to flush out the knee. Son is doing much better, still walking with a limp. They were unable to determine what kind of bacteria caused the problem. | True | True | 3.0 | 2016-12-20 | 2016-12-20 | 0.0 | Blood work to check CRP and SEDS, X-rays, Ultrasound, drained fluid from knee, tested bacteria | Unknown | Private | No | ||||||||||
