Project Overview

This report explores COVID-19 vaccine adverse effects that have been reported to VAERS, an organization that keeps a database of adverse reactions to immunizations and vaccines. This report is limited to the United States, and aims to answer questions like: What is the vaccination rate in the U.S by state? What is the probability of a vaccinated individual getting an adverse reaction from each of the vaccines? What kinds of adverse effects have vaccinated individuals experienced? What role does health history and age play on the report cases of adverse reactions? How many deaths (if any) have been recorded post vaccination?

2. People who have pre-existing conditions such as asthma, hypertension, diabetes, and hypothyroidism should discuss with their health care providers and make plans for check-in post vaccination.
3. A person with asthma who is worried about adverse reaction should consider getting the Johnson and Johnson vaccine over Pfizer and Moderna.
4. Regardless of vaccine type, hypertension as a pre-existing condition is a major factor to getting serious adverse reactions from COVID-19 vaccine.
5. Dizziness and anxiety are the two most common first symptoms after vaccination.
6. Individuals in the Northeast are more likely to get vaccinated or have easier access to vaccines than people in Idaho and the Southeast.
