| Description: | Non-Domestic VAERS vaccine data for 01/01/2016 - 06/14/2016. If you want to explore the full VAERS data for 1990 - Present (data, symptoms, and vaccines), then check out the 'vaersND' package from the URL below. The URL and BugReports below correspond to the 'vaersND' package, of which 'vaersNDvax' is a small subset (2016 only). 'vaersND' is not hosted on CRAN due to the large size of the data set. To install the Suggested 'vaers' and 'vaersND' packages, use the following R code: 'devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/iembry/vaers.git", build_vignettes = TRUE)' and 'devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/iembry/vaersND.git", build_vignettes = TRUE)'. "VAERS is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States."
