Vaccination Info

Oh my gosh! My 2 month old son received his vaccinations yesterday and HAD THE EXACT SAME REACTIONS! Brought him home from the hospital (my husband is retired military, and the pediatric clinic is in the hospital) and within 3 hours, Luke woke up fussing, I mixed him a bottle, picked him up and the screams began. The screaming did not let up for 4 hours. He never cries, let alone screaming. I had been told (verbally) by the pediatrician that if he cried for longer than 3 hours or if his fever was over 105, to call or come in to the ER if after clinic hours. They also gave me paper information on the vaccines, and it has listed:

Mild Reactions
Sore arm or leg
Fever
Fussy
Less Appetite
Tired
Vomiting

Moderate to Serious Reactions:
Non-stop crying (3 hours or more) 100 of every 10,000 doses
Fever of 105 or higher 30 of every 10,000 doses
Seizure (jerking or staring) 6 of every 10,000 doses
Child becomes limp, pale, less alert 6 of every 10,000 doses

Severe Reactions:
Breathing difficulty, shock
Long seizure, coma or lowered consciousness

After I determined that his screaming had gone on long enough (over 3 hours - actually it had been over 4 hours) I took him to the ER (same Army hospital). After waiting 2 1/2 hours, my baby was seen by the doctor. When he asked me what the problem was, I started wondering about his ability to help us. Luke had been screaming non-stop from the time we entered the hospital up until about 15 minutes before the physician saw him. The entire ER could hear him screaming and we had multiple nurses coming by to check on us to make sure he was ok. By the time the physician saw him, he had been crying non-stop for over 6 hours and was so exhausted, he couldn't move anymore. He was losing his voice and the injection sites (2 on his left leg and 1 on his right) were swollen and the red inflammation was spreading up and down his leg. He was running a 100.5 degree temp on .08 mg of tylenol. The physician said that he was ok and sent us home. That was it. Nothing more.
I have a number to call to report such an incident. It is 1-800-822-7967. This is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). If our children have been seriously injured by this vaccine, then the government will help pay for the care of such injury. You can check this out at http://www.hrsa.dhhs.gov/bhpr/vicp/new.htm
or call 1-800-338-2382. It is the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
I know that this doesn't make us feel any better, but at least we can look into the problem further. I am so extremely angry at that ignorant physician that I could scream. I was told to bring him in to the ER only to be sent home with no help whatsoever. I'm calling the VAERS to report this and I am also placing a complaint against the physician. Reporting such a claim to the VAERS can also help us understand what we need to do for the future injections and what if any thing we can do to stop injury or prevent further injury from these incompetent medical "professionals". I feel that I can say this confidently due to I have been an RN for over 15 years.
Let me know how you make out with this and I will do the same. You and your daughter will be in my prayers. . .

The DPT vaccination was first recommended for routine use in 1947.
My brother was born in 1946. He has been severely mentally handicapped
since he was 18mos old.Now at60 his IQ is that of a 3yr. old.
About 20yrs ago I asked my mother what cause it.She said he had a little cold
and then started holding his head and screaming. He was taken to the
Mayo Clinic, which they lived close to at the time, but that they could
do nothing and didn't know the exact cause.
About 3yrs ago I asked her if he had a vaccination about that time
and she said that he had the DPT and that it was something new at the time.
I think she was afraid to put 2 and 2 together because back then you put all
your trust in the doctors especially if they were Mayo Clinic Drs.

Hi Kelly
my son had an adverse affect to the DPT shot 18 years ago. We were not as lucky as you though, after his first he seemed a little fussy, but nothing out of the ordinary, this is afterall what the doctor told me to expect. The second however, was different. At first he appeared to be fine, but around 12 or so hours later he woke up in the middle of the night, no fever, seemed ok, but as I changed his diaper he started having a seizure... it lasted about 20 minutes, We took him to the ER and by then it had stopped..... very long long story short. He is 18, non-verbal, bowel incontinent, and suffers an intractable seizure disorder. He is the light of my life, was my first born (had him at 20) and seriously, would die without him. We were compensated thorugh the vaccine injury compensation act set up by the US dept of Health, and Andrew was awarded lifetime care. (seriously, keep the money and give me back my little boy) this was a life altering experience, to say the least... even though it has been so long, i still mourn the little boy that God gave me. God Bless you, and please do not ever let them convince you to give her another one.

Two years later I had a little girl, she received all the vaccines except the Pertussis portion and she is 16 y/o now and has had no problems. Oh and needless to say Andrew never received another DPT shot but he did complete the series of the Tetanus and Diptheria, (the DPT without the the P) this was way back whent he petussis was a whole cell killed vaccine, now the acellular is supposed to be safer, but aparently not,breaks my heart still.
good luck to you..
