Vaccination caused death is believed either to not exist or to be extremely rare by the CDC, based on data collected by VAERS, the Vaccination Adverse Event Reporting System.
CDC:
http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/smallpox/vaccine-safety/pdf/adverse-events-chart.pdfYou mean like here, where the CDC publishes an estimate of 1.1 deaths (and 63 serious reactions) per million for smallpox vaccination? Far above the death rate that would be balanced with risk if, say, MMR were found to have a similar rate? I.e. the CDC is predicting that nationwide smallpox vaccination at those rates would =~ 300 deaths.
Regarding VAERS:
1) At <10% reporting estimated by the CDC at, there isn't even a big enough subject pool to determine sufficient safety from VAERS, even if all reporting from 10% of the population were perfectly filled out, omniscient reports of exactly what occurred. And also in reality, those who do report are mostly complete bullshit in terms of details or professionalism full of stuff like "at an unknown date an unknown vaccine was taken and some unknown stuff happened." So actual useful reporting is even lower.
2) That being said, there are still deaths reported to VAERS all the time with much higher than average VAERS detail... I don't know what you're talking about if you are usggesting death reports are unknown to VAERS. Here are a few (by NO means all, I don't have hours and hours to read) I pulled out from 2013 alone that seemed reasonably plausible vaccine-related deaths:
Hospitalized 12/12/12 through 12/22/12 at medical center. Complaints of 6 months' increasing edema in hands and feet, current unsteady gait, decreased strength. Diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Readmit 1/3/13 with worsening weakness, dysphasia. 1/5/13, expired during transport by ambulance. Stopped at community hospital while en route.

The following information was obtained through follow-up and/or provided by the government. 05/03/2013 Death Certificate received. Final Cause of Death: Pulmonary Embolus due to/or as a consequence of Guillain Barre.

1 day later, 16 yr old
Headache, sore throat, tingling of feet and hands, blood sugar unusually fluctuated. Patient had paralysis earlier in the day on day of death.
A report was received from a physician via a medical representative concerning a 3 year old female. Her medical history, concurrent diseases, and concomitant medications were not reported. On an unknown date, she received nasal FLUMIST. The medical doctor mentioned that two to three years ago a previously healthy 3 year old female died within three days of receiving FLUMIST in her office. The medical representative was uncertain whether symptoms began shortly after dose or three days later. At an unspecified time period after FLUMIST, the patient started vomiting and collapsed. She was taken to hospital three days after receiving FLUMIST and died. The physician stated that all the tests were negative, and the child was afebrile. The medical representative was uncertain whether an autopsy was performed. She also stated that the doctor thought the death was related to FLUMIST. The official cause of death was cardiac arrest. On an unspecified date, the patient died from the event of cardiac arrest, and at the time of reporting the outcome of the event of collapse and vomiting was unknown. According to the reporter the adverse event of cardiac arrest was considered to be serious with the serious criteria of death and the adverse event of vomiting was considered to be non-serious. According to the company physician the adverse event of collapse was considered to be serious with the serious criteria of important medical event. According to the reporter the adverse events were causally related to the suspect drug of FLUMIST.
4 days after vaccine
He started having high grade fever on 3/12, reaching up to 102.9. I asked him to go to his primary care physician who thought he had ear infection and prescribed Levofloxacin. He called me on 3/16/13 complaining of severe shortness of breath and choking sensation in the neck. He deteriorated over the next few days with worsening shortness of breath, persistent fever, renal and respiratory failure requiring hemodialysis and ventilator support. He also underwent a single course of plasmapharesis with presumed diagnosis of Guillain Barre Syndrome but did not respond. He had upper GI bleed and subsequent CT scan showed free air in the abdomen. He underwent emergency surgery that showed gastric gangrene and perforation. Total gastrectomy was performed. He had increasing abdominal distention post-surgically and passed away approximately 5 am on 3/21/2013. The following information was obtained through follow-up and/or provided by the government. 3/27 & 28/2013 hospital records received for DOS 3/16-21/2013.

This spontaneous report as received from a other health professional (medical student) refers to a currently 15 years old male patient with T cell precursor lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing chemotherapy. On an unknown date the patient's brothers were vaccinated with a dose of varicella virus vaccine live (manufacturer unknown) lot # dose not reported, it was not known if the patient had been vaccinated. On an unknown date, the patient experienced disseminated varicella (hospitalization) and died (on an unspecified date). The cause of death was unknown. At the time of the report the outcome for disseminated varicella, patient's brothers were vaccinated with a dose varicella virus vaccine live were unknown. Additional information has been requested. The following information was obtained through follow-up and/or provided by the government. 05/28/13 Death Certificate Received. Final Cause of Death: Multi-organ System Failure due to or as a consequence of Varicella Zoster Viremia due to or as a consequence of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. 05/24/13 Vaccine records/medical records received. Service dates 06/06/01 to 08/05/11. DOB 11/18/97.
dozens of SIDS a day after or same day of vaccination, with bleeding around the mouth, example (this one without the bleeding):
Initial report was received on 23 October 2013 with additional information received on 03 November from a health care professional. A 13 month-old male patient who had no illness at the time of vaccination and no reported past medical history had received on 18 October 2013 at 1045 AM an intramuscular right thigh injection of FLUZONE QIV, lot number U4779AA and an unspecified amount of time later was found with no chest movement and blue. The patient was put to bed at 9 PM and at 1145 PM or 1245 AM the mother checked on the child who was found with no chest movement and the child was blue. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed with no response. An "autopsy done: gross examination unrevealing; no obvious cause of death identified; results of cultures, toxicology pending (will take up to ~6 weeks for results to come back)." No further information was available at the time of the report. The patient's outcome was fatal. Documents held by sender: none.
1 day later (~2 month old?)
Excessive fussiness, vomiting, came to urgent care asystolic, time of death called after resuscitative efforts failed, small bowel necrosis determined at autopsy.
same day as vaccine:
This medically confirmed spontaneous report (initial receipt 18-Jun-2013) concerns a female patient approximately 2 years old. Some time in January or February of 2013, the patient developed sepsis and subsequently passed away. The patient had received a flu shot (influenza vaccine, batch and manufacturer unspecified) prior to developing sepsis. The patient had been hospitalised (hospital information and duration unspecified) and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) had been conducted. The event outcome was fatal. Reporter's comments: The reporter considered events serious due to hospitalisation, intervention to prevent serious criteria (CPR conducted), life threatening events (patient passed away) and death.
Information has been received from a lawyer concerning a male (age unspecified) who on an unspecified date received a dose of PNEUMOVAX23 (route, dose, site and lot number not reported). Subsequently the patient died. The exact cause and date of death was not reported. It was unknown whether the patient underwent an autopsy. The reporter stated that it is believed that the PNEUMOVAX23 caused the patients death. Additional information has been requested.
Again, this is a subset of the 30,000 reported events in the database for only 2013 that I had time to find in about half an hour break at work.
We could also get into the various rulings from vaccine courts that have paid out many millions of U.S. tax dollars for vaccine deaths, if you like. They go out of their way to disclaim them as evidence of medically definite causal fact, but obviously, these qualify as quite possible vaccine related deaths, if the government is agreeing to pay hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars after investigation and court cases.
For example, there is one case between 1990 and 1992 in the continental united states where it has been determined that vaccination possibly caused death.
