That 0.4% category includes simply taking a sick day from work/school. I would hardly call that life-threatening. You are also using the word “reaction” when it’s not clear that the SAEs were due to the vaccine and not something else.

Where did you see it includes simply taking a sick day?
Page 9, “A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions”

VAERS forms sometimes have more wording for that category: https://medcom.uiowa.edu/theloop/covid-19-vaccination-requir...

The fact sheet doesn't define substantial. The University of Iowa page says a sick day counts though. Thanks.
