>>> The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program—run by the US Department of Health and Human Services—has released to The Memory Hole some statistics not available on the program's website.

These breakdowns show which vaccines have led to the most claims for injury and death from 01 Oct 1998 (the start of the program) to 10 Nov 2003.

Keep in mind that this doesn't represent all health problems caused by vaccines; these are only the cases in which the aggrieved parties filed claims with the government's vaccine program.

Update: For the government's database on adverse reactions to vaccines, head to http://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/. It has 158,683 records from 1990 through the end of 2003.

Technical note: These sheets were supplied by the Dept of Health & Human Services in response to FOIA request HRSA 04-064, filed by Russ Kick.
