In reply to the discussion: Nicki Minaj goes full covidiot ... "My cousin's friend" ... "It was a dark and stormy night [View all]ecstatic
(32,755 posts)38. Most of the entries are entered by providers, who are required by law to report
what their patients/customers state happened. But regardless, are we really taking the position that everything in the VAERS database is fraudulent? If anything, most side effects are underreported. I have a weird side effect of bruising since getting the vaccine and I never bothered to call Kroger to report it.
Also, have you taken a look at the amount of information you need to provide in a report? Not exactly something a ditzy trumper or someone with an axe to grind could necessarily get through. But yes, as with all things, I'm sure some fake reports are in the mix.
Two Ways to Submit an Online Report to VAERS
A woman completing a VAERS report online
Option 1 - Report Online to VAERS
Submit a VAERS report online. The report must be completed online and submitted in one sitting and cannot be saved and returned to at a later time. Your information will be erased if you are inactive for 20 minutes; you will receive a warning after 15 minutes.

Option 2 - Report using a Writable PDF Form
Download the Writable PDF Form to a computer. Complete the VAERS report offline if you do not have time to complete it all at once. Return to this page to upload the completed Writable PDF form by clicking here.
What will I need to fill out the report?
Patient information (age, date of birth, sex)
Vaccine information (brand name, dosage)
Date, time, and location administered
Date and time when adverse event(s) started
Symptoms and outcome of the adverse event(s)
Medical tests and laboratory results (if applicable)
Physicians contact information (if applicable)

Any report that doesn't contain all of the information requested can easily be dismissed as fraudulent. It doesn't mention it in the instructions, but Lot numbers are requested too.
