Per CDC National Immunization Program Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule

DTaP (dose 3 of 5)
Hib (dose 3 of 4)
PCV7 (dose 3 of 4)
Rotavirus (dose 3 of 3)

If your child had a vax reaction after this visit will you be kind enough to post the reaction here:

Sorry... I have edited this to include up to 3 years because even though I posted this thread based on CDC... I realize that a number of people spaced out their shots further but included these shots, just older... hope that make sense. tia

One dose of DTaP at 4 months, one week. No reaction.

Still not sure about continuing the next dose at 6 months 2 weeks when we have our next WBV appointment.

My oldest son had a reaction to Prevnar (PCV) at 9 months (which they had completely scaremongered me into giving in the first place - I was so naive. Sigh). It was his second dose. About 20 minutes after the vax, he started screaming (which lasted a very long time), had red splotches (not hives I don't think) all over (they lasted about half a day) and refused to eat for 2 weeks. He also broke out with eczema all over his body after the splotches went away.

I called the ped and he said it was....wait for it....a coincidence and he must have come down with a virus at the 'exact same time' as the vaccine.

They tried to give him another dose of it at his 12 month appt. I was naive and vaxing, but I didn't fall for that one. I also had to report it to VAERS myself because they wouldn't.

Ds #1 regressed in his speech after his 18mo vax's (2001). My MIL wondered if he was becoming autistic at the time. He ended up having speech therapy and now is a nonstop talker, thankfully. It never occurred to me before I started researching vax's that it might've been caused by them.

You can report it, but it probably went straight into the trash because VAERS does NOT accept reports from caretakers or parents, only doctors, and by the admission of the government itself, only 1-10% of doctors report adverse reactions. Personally, I would be surprised at 1%. I've never personally heard of any case being reported. My nephew got measles right after a measles vaccination and the doctors told the parents it was "another kind of measles".

In spite of so few reportings, and the majority of them being trashed when it comes to paying out vaccine damages, the government has still paid out 1 billion dollars in injury claims since doctors and vaccine manufacturers forced the government to cover "liabililty". That means straight out of taxpayers pockets while the perpetrators get rich on blood money. See http://legaljustice4john.com

Everything I've read said VAERS does take parent reports. I think there's been at least one parent who has linked to her report to VAERS.

Dd had DTaP #1 and Hib #1 at the 6 mo visit (happened when dd was 7 mos). She ended up with swelling, redness, and a lump in her leg at the injection site (not huge, but noticeable). She developed a fever of about 101-102 that lasted 3-4 days. It's the only time I've given OTC medicine to dd, but she was pretty inconsolable (no high-pitched scream or anything, but crying, miserable, etc.) so we gave her some kind of pain reliever/fever reducer (tylenol maybe).

She also stopped babbling for several weeks. That was the worst and scariest part. She went from seeming to be very much ahead verbally (babbled and interacted verbally very early) to ending up a bit behind. She's 18 mos and has about 10-15 words. Her doctor (a family practitioner) was quite concerned at her 9 mo visit when we described her discomfort and how long the fever lasted from the first shots, and said "Good" when we said no shots at that next visit. Nice to have a supportive HCP.

I know most of her reaction (fever, swelling, etc.) is just normal, don't worry stuff. But I wouldn't want to see how the next round would have gone, if the reaction gets worse. It was bad enough.

No that is incorrect, they DO accept it. My report is still there and they took the description I put in and added key words. For example, the fact he wouldn't eat for 2 weeks is considered anorexia (which I found rather odd), but they take what people write and add some standardized search words.

I don't see a thread for shots at 2 years (which, for us included MMR and Varicella). This was LONG before I thought to even research this issue!!!

My son experienced a total loss of information. Pre-vax he could count to ten, tell me all the sounds every animal made, developing normal/on track. Post-vax he lost all of that info -- is still about 6-8 mos. developmentally delayed and we are in the process of having him tested for heavy metal toxicity to try to heal his system.

I was following the cdc suggestions...but you know what I'll change this title so it makes sense for those who spaced out a little later.

thanks for the heads up, giggle!
