As of last Friday, 1,406 adverse reactions from Alaskans are listed on the CDC’s VAERS reporting website, including 26 Alaskans who have died following the reception of a COIVD vaccine.

Reports from Alaska and across national are likely much higher than what appears on VAERS, which captures only a small fraction of total instances, according to a 2012 study by Harvard.

“’Underreporting’ is one of the main limitations of passive surveillance systems, including VAERS,” the VAERS website notes, adding that it  “receives reports for only a small fraction of actual adverse events.”
