Coronavirus: Vaccination
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many yellow card reports there have been on Covid-19 vaccines.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
As of 4 November 2024, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has received a total of 489,991 spontaneous, suspected adverse reaction reports for COVID-19 vaccines in the United Kingdom.
However, it is important to note that reporters are encouraged to submit Yellow Card reports even if they only have a suspicion that the vaccine may have caused the adverse reaction. Therefore, the existence of an adverse reaction report does not necessarily mean that the vaccine has caused the reaction.
