Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System Vaccine Information 2016

A report to Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) generally does not prove that the identified vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described. It only confirms that the reported event occurred sometime after the vaccine was given, which is what this dataset showcases. No proof that the event was caused by the vaccine is required in order for VAERS to accept the report. VAERS accepts all reports without judging whether the event was caused by the vaccine.

一份提交至疫苗不良事件报告系统（VAERS）的报告通常不能证明所识别的疫苗（们）导致了描述的不良事件。它仅证实了报告的事件在接种疫苗后某一时间点发生，这正是本数据集所展示的内容。VAERS接受报告时，无需证明事件是由疫苗引起的。VAERS接受所有报告，而不对事件是否由疫苗引起进行判断。
