On Jun. 30, 2017, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented a revised reporting form and a new process for submitting reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

Persons reporting adverse events were  able to use the VAERS 2.0 online reporting tool to submit reports directly online; alternatively, they downloaded and completed the writable and savable VAERS 2.0 form and submitted it using an electronic document upload feature.
