It'd be interesting to know if that were high or low for a typical vaccine or medication.

Apparently there’s around 200 anaphylaxis deaths annually in the US:
> There were a total of 2458 anaphylaxis-related deaths in the United States from 1999 to 2010. Medications were the most common cause (58.8%), followed by "unspecified" (19.3%), venom (15.2%), and food (6.7%).
