Important: VAERS reports alone cannot determine if a vaccine caused an adverse event. Reports may contain incomplete, inaccurate, or unverified information. Correlation does not equal causation.

Gastrointestinal disorder is the #100 most frequently reported symptom for DTP + Hib out of 303 total symptoms.
Disclaimer: VAERS reports describe events that occurred after vaccination but do not establish that the vaccine caused the event. Many reported symptoms may be coincidental or related to underlying conditions.
Seeing 26 reports of Gastrointestinal disorder after DTP + Hib vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The 23.08% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
