VFC Filing VAERS or CMR Reports

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.

VAERS provides a nationwide mechanism by which adverse events following immunization may be reported, analyzed, and made available to the public. VAERS also provides a vehicle for disseminating vaccine safety-related information to parents and guardians, health care providers, vaccine manufacturers, state vaccine programs, and other constituencies. more...
