Declarations
:
: This study performed a secondary analysis of publicly available, de-identified adverse event reports retrieved from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a national passive surveillance system jointly managed by the U.S. CDC and FDA. No individual-level identifiers were accessed, and no attempt was made to re-identify subjects. Because only anonymous, open-access data were used, this work does not constitute human subjects research under U.S. federal regulations and institutional policies, and thus formal Institutional Review Board review or ethical approval was not required.
