“…3,20 None of the standard vaccinations are currently contraindicated in patients with febrile seizures. [20][21][22] As for the significance of race and febrile seizure development, the literature reports a lower incidence of febrile seizures within the white race relative to Asian populations (3-5% in whites vs. 8-10% in Asians). 2,3,6 However, a limitation of this study is the predominately white and Hispanic demographic within our sample, which limits generalizability to other racial/ethnic groups.…”

Considering AEFI-related ED visits or hospitalizations, the majority of them were referred to the preferred terms “fever” and “hyperpyrexia,” adverse events well known and well characterized after vaccination (Sawyer et al, 2016).…”
