Children’s Health Defense (CHD) on Tuesday filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for communications related to two reports of infant deaths following the accidental administration of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine.

The reports — of a 27-day-old boy and a newborn girl — were submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). According to the reports, both babies died within hours of vaccination.
CHD submitted the FOIAs after the CDC declined to provide details about its knowledge of the reports to The Defender. The agency said only that although the VAERS reports indicated the infants died after receiving the RSV shots, the reports were mistaken — neither infant had received the shot.
The Defender last week reported on a study by CDC researchers published in Pediatrics. The study identified 34 reports to public health agencies of babies mistakenly given the RSV vaccine. Seven of the babies experienced adverse events and one of those babies was hospitalized.
The numbers and injuries came from the researchers’ analysis of the VAERS reports for the RSV vaccines, which are not approved for children.
The analysis found 27 reports of the Pfizer RSV vaccine (Abrysvo) and seven reports of the GSK RSV vaccine (Arexvy) mistakenly administered to children under age 2 between Aug. 21, 2023, and March 18, 2024.
The analysis did not mention the two VAERS reports of infants who received an RSV shot and died.
The Defender asked the CDC why the report on the 27-day-old baby was missing from the analysis. An agency spokesperson responded, “It was found that the child did not receive an RSV vaccine. Therefore, this case is not included in the study.”
In response to a follow-up email from The Defender requesting more details, the spokesperson said, “This was an error in filling out the VAERS report,” but declined to explain how the CDC determined there was an error.
The Pediatrics paper provides a summary table of the reports in VAERS. Footnote “a” in the table noted, “One additional report not included in this analysis suggested that a potential error occurred that could not be verified.”
When asked if that statement referred to the report of the 27-day-old infant who died, the CDC did not respond.
