Supplementary notes

* As of June 1, 2023.
"In the majority of cases, vaccines cause no side effects, however they can occur, as with any medication—but most are mild. Very rarely, people experience more serious side effects, like allergic reactions. In those instances, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) allows individuals to file a petition for compensation."
Just because a petition was filed does not guarantee compensation. Over half of petitions filed during this time were dismissed.
** Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.
