Reporting Adverse Events
Report clinically significant adverse events that follow vaccination through the Federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) or call the 24 hour national toll-free hotline at 800-822-7967.
VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States.
