^§ The Brighton Collaboration case definition uses combinations of symptoms to define levels of diagnostic certainty. Brighton Level 1 represents the highest level of diagnostic certainty that a reported case is indeed a case of anaphylaxis; Levels 2 and 3 are successively lower levels of diagnostic certainty. Level 4 is a case reported as anaphylaxis but that does not meet the Brighton Collaboration case definition. Level 5 is a case that was neither reported as anaphylaxis nor meets the case definition (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2007.02.064external icon).
^¶ As documented in the description of the adverse event in the VAERS report in Box 18 or as document in recovery status in Box 20.
