Latest statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that a total of 1,000,229 reports of adverse effects following COVID vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 24, 2021, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
The data included a total of 21,002 reports of deaths and 162,506 reports of serious injuries. Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 709,084 adverse events, including 9,623 deaths and 62,069 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 24, 2021.
Of the 9,623 U.S. deaths reported as of Dec. 24, 20% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 25% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 61% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

Every Friday, VAERS publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed. Historically, VAERS has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events.
The most recent death involves a previously healthy 15-year-old girl from Wisconsin, who experienced a cerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured aneurysm.
She also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 despite having been fully vaccinated.
61 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment or resulted in death — with 96% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.
579 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis with 568 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine. 146 reports of blood clotting disorders, with all cases attributed to Pfizer.
