# Claim table — Health Canada vaccine side-effect reporting link

| Claim / issue | Evidence label | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The screenshot exists and says Yvonne C / @CountryGardener amplified a claim from “DG” about Health Canada’s vaccine side-effect reporting link. | Verified as screenshot content. | PBC preserved the supplied screenshot locally and in the source package. |
| A September 20, 2020 archived consumer vaccine page had a visible “Report a side effect” link. | Supported by archive capture. | The archived page text says consumers were strongly encouraged to report and includes a “Report a side effect” anchor pointing through Wayback to the Health Canada reporting form path. |
| The December 27, 2020 archived page, marked modified December 1, 2020, no longer showed the direct Health Canada voluntary reporting-form link on that consumer page. | Supported by archive capture. | That capture instead instructed consumers to ask a doctor, nurse or pharmacist to complete an AEFI form and submit it to a local public health unit. |
| A January 29, 2022 archived copy still lacked the direct consumer reporting-form link on that page. | Supported by archive capture. | The 2022 capture preserved the same provider/local-public-health-unit routing language. |
| A March 21, 2023 archived page, marked modified February 28, 2023, restored language allowing direct reporting to Health Canada. | Supported by archive capture. | The capture says: “If you are unable to report adverse reactions through a health care provider or if you prefer to report directly to Health Canada: Report a side effect to Health Canada.” |
| The voluntary reporting form itself disappeared from the internet during the 2020–2023 period. | Not supported by this pass. | The direct form was separately archived in October 2020 and loads as a current Health Product Register side-effect reporting form; the documented change is the link/path visibility on the vaccine-consumer page. |
| The archive record proves why Health Canada made the change or that it intended to suppress reports. | Not proven by archive pages alone. | Timing and accessibility questions are legitimate, and Q-1482 asked those questions in Parliament, but motive requires internal records or a government response, not just page diffs. |
| Canada’s adverse-event data prove the vaccines caused every reported event. | False / not the issue checked here. | Official Canadian pages say adverse events after vaccination are not necessarily related to the vaccine and that reports undergo review/signal assessment. |
