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.

Urticaria has been reported 273 times in association with DTP + Hib vaccination in VAERS. This represents 4.0% of all 6,892 reports for this vaccine.
Among these reports, 3 mentioned death (1.10%) and 19 involved hospitalization (7.0%).
Urticaria is the #21 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 273 reports of Urticaria after DTP + Hib vaccination may seem alarming, but context is critical.
The mortality rate of 1.10% warrants monitoring, though VAERS deaths represent temporal associations, not confirmed causal links.
