note- However, shortly after this approval, cases of intussusception were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a surveillance system which collects information about possible side effects of licensed vaccines. VAERS is a program of the FDA and CDC. Intussusception is a condition in which one segment of the bowel enfolds within another segment, causing obstruction. This condition was seen in the pre-licensure clinical trials, but in rates no higher than rates in non-vaccinated children. However, after licensure, VAERS recorded 76 cases in total, with 70% of those cases occurring after the first dose of vaccine. Due to this surveillance, the CDC recommended that vaccine use be suspended until further studies could be performed. One study found one case in every 5000 to 9500 vaccinated infants, with the highest risk after the first dose.
