This is based on voluntary reporting, which is known to have under reporting where even 10% events are not reported.
Even then the risk is a serious AEFI is 1 in 5095.

I was referring specifically to the incidence of blood clots, not necessarily any AEFI. I don't know enough about the NZ governments methodology to comment on your source.

So comparing rate of incidence of blood clots to car accidents to imply vaccine safety is a bit misleading in my opinion.

Hm, I was addressing the parent's specific point about blood clots rather than safety in general. I agree with you broadly, however. Worth calling out my wording. Thanks!
