For all my friends with tiny babies- PLEASE read this. I know its long, but please, for your childs sake, read it. You all know how I feel about vaccines in general, but I want to specifically address the 4 month shots- I see too many babies suffering needlessly and DYING around this age and it breaks my heart. BREAKS MY HEART. If youve chosen to follow the CDC schedule, your baby will receive their 2nd dose of rotavirus, 2nd dose of dtap, 2nd dose of hib, 2nd dose of pneumonia, and 2nd dose of polio. If your child is lucky enough not to have an immediate reaction, you still need to know what to watch for in the following weeks, because your child is most certainly not out of the danger zone. Ill start with Rotavirus vaccine side effects : Commonly Reported Reactions: temporary diarrhea, fussiness/irritability, cough/runny nose, fever, loss of appetite, and vomiting. More Serious Reported Reactions: ear infection, pneumonia Also, according to the Rotarix package insert: Since FDA approval, reports of infants with intussusception have been received by Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Intussusception occurred days and sometimes weeks after vaccination. Some infants needed hospitalization, surgery on their intestines, or a special enema to treat this problem. Death due to intussusception has occurred. Other reported side effects include: Kawasaki disease (a serious condition involving inflammation of the blood vessels that can affect the heart; symptoms may include fever, rash, red eyes, red mouth, swollen glands, swollen hands, and feet and, if not treated, death can occur). On to DTAP: Temperature of 105 F. or higher within 48 hours of a previous pertussis vaccination, not attributable to another identifiable cause Collapse or shock-like state (hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes) within 48 hours of a previous pertussis vaccination Persistent crying lasting 3 hours or more within 48 hours of a previous pertussis vaccination Convulsions with or without fever, occurring within 3 days of a previous pertussis vaccination Serious allergic reaction to a pervious pertussis vaccination Encephalopathy (coma, decreased level of consciousness, prolonged convulsions) within 7 days of a previous pertussis vaccination not attributable to another identifiable cause Children with a progressive neurologic disorder (such as infantile spasms, uncontrolled epilepsy, or progressive encephalopathy) HIB: ActHIB — tenderness, erythema, induration, fever, irritability, drowsiness, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting; when combined with DTP vaccine by reconstitution, adverse reactions included: tenderness, erythema, induration, fever, irritability, drowsiness, anorexia, diarrhea, persistent crying, and one hypotonic/hypresponsive episode (which is consistent with the HHE rate observed with DTP vaccination alone) Hiberix — when co-administered with DTaP-HBV-IPV: redness, pain and swelling at injection site, fever, fussiness, loss of appetite, restlessness, sleepiness, diarrhea, vomiting; post-marketing reported adverse events included extensive swelling of the vaccinated limb, anaphylactic reactions, angioedema, convulsions, hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode, syncope, apnea, rash, urticarial, somnolence. PedvaxHIB — adverse events during clinical trials included irritability, sleepiness, injection siter pain/soreness, erythema, swelling induration, unusual high-pitched crying, prolonged crying (more than 4 hours), diarrhea, vomiting, crying, pain, otitis media, rash, and upper respiratory infection; potential adverse events may include early onset of Hib disease and Guillain-Barre syndrome; in post-marketing, reported adverse events included lymphadenopathy, angioedema, febrile seizures and injection site abscess. Comvax — (children in clinical trials were monitored five days) with the most frequently cited events being mild, transient signs and symptoms of inflammation at the injection site, pain/soreness, erythema, swelling, induration, somnolence, irritability, anorexia, vomiting, otitis media, fever, diarrhea, upper respiratory infection, rash, rhinorrhea, respiratory congestion, cough, candidiasis; in post-marketing: anaplylaxis, angioedema, urticarial, erythema multiforme, thrombocytopenia, seizure, febrile seizures, lymphadenopathy, pruritus, arthralgia, dyspnea, tachycardia, syncope, elevation of liver enzymes, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, arthritis, Bell’s Palsy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, agitation, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, alopecia, conjunctivitis, visual disturbances. Pentacel — redness, swelling, tenderness at injection site, increase in arm circumference (dose 4), fever, lethargy, inconsolable crying, fussiness, irritability, hypotonic hyporesponsive episodes, seizures, febrile seizures, bronchiolitis, dehydration, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, asthma, pneumonia, encephalopathy, and four deaths attributed to asphyxia due to suffocation, head trauma, Sudden Infant Death syndrome (SIDS), and neuroblastoma; in post-marketing, reported adverse events included cyanosis, vomiting, diarrhea, extensive swelling of injected limb including swelling that involved adjacent joints, invasive Hib disease (classified as vaccine failure), rash, urticarial, meningitis, rhinitis, viral infection, decreased appetitie, somnolence, HHE, depressed level of consciousness, screaming, apnea, cough, erythema, skin discoloroation, and pallor. MenHibrix — redness, swelling and pain at injection site, irritability, drowsiness, loss of appetitie, fever, and syncope. For more severe reactions such as nervous system disorders and other serious events, the manufacturer referred to reactions reported by the use of Hiberix rather than its own vaccine. It is not known whether MenHibrix can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or whether it can affect reproduction capacity. PNEUMONIA: As of July 2012, there had been more than 34,000 reported adverse events following pneumococcal vaccinations (PCV-7, PCV-13) given to children in the U.S. with 90% of the reported PCV-7 vaccine adverse events occurring in children under age three and 95% of the PCV-13 vaccine adverse events occurring in children under age six. There have been more than 1,000 deaths and more than 2,000 cases involving convulsions reported following receipt of PCV-7 and PCV-13 vaccines. Reported pneumoccocal vaccine reactions include fever, severe local reactions (swelling, redness, pain at site of injection), irritability, drowsiness, restless sleep, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, decreased appetite, convulsions, asthma, pneumonia and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). POLIO: Commonly reported IPV reactions include fever, irritability and crying, local reactions (pain, redness, swelling at injection site), drowsiness, vomiting and loss of appetite. However, because most IPV is included with other vaccines in combination shots in the U.S., the vaccine manufacturer product insert for each combination vaccine should be reviewed to learn about vaccine reaction symptoms and contraindications before vaccination. The live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) can cause vaccine strain polio in the vaccinated person or can cause vaccine strain polio in a person, who comes in contact with a recently vaccinated person’s body fluids (urine, stool, saliva) because the vaccine strain polio virus is shed for several weeks after vaccination. Vaccine strain polio can cause mild or severe and permanent paralysis similar to the paralysis caused by wild type polio. Vaccine strain polio continues to occur in countries where children receive OPV, especially in areas where poor sanitation and hygiene facilitate the spread of vaccine strain polio. According to MedAlerts, an online search engine of the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database, as of July 2012, there have been more than 24,000 adverse events reported following OPV with 925 deaths (95% in children under age six) and 99 cases of paralysis. There have been more than 35,000 reports of adverse events associated with IPV containing vaccines with 710 deaths (95% in children under age six) and 53 cases of paralysis. I urge you, please pay attention to your child in the weeks following vaccination if you choose that route. If your child is sick, fussy, uncomfortable, gets an infection, etc. within days of the vaccines, DO NOT DISMISS THIS. Its NOT okay. Vaccines cause a lot of chronic issues- ear infections, autoimmune disease, chronic weakened immunity, and the list goes on. If your child isnt tolerating the onslaught of toxins well this time, the next time could be worse. Please, mommas (and daddies), read, research and pay attention. It could save your childs life.
