Re: Vaccine Question/Kim

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim, it is manufacturer warnings not to vaccinate any child that has seizures

or has any form of a weakened immune system. I highly recommend that you ask a

doc for a medical excempt! If your nuero wont(this does surprise me that he said

it is ok), but possibly another doc well give you one(they can be difficult to

get). Let them know that your daughter has seizures and she should not be

vaccinated according to the manufacturer warnings. I well try and find a file on

the manufacture. If you feel leary about the shots, trust your mother

instincts. I wish I would have.

This comes from the cdc: For example, the predecessor system to VAERS

requested information on personal and family histories of seizures. Analysis

showed that persons with such histories were significantly more likely to have

seizures following DTP than persons without such histories, leading to

development of precautions for vaccinating such individuals.43

Hi Everone,

I need some advice! My daughter is 5 and has complex partial seizures.

She was diagnosed two years ago. She has had about 16 since then with

an average of about 5 weeks apart. Hers always have happenned first

thing when she wakes up in the morning. She is on Trileptal 12.5 mls

per day. So my question is...She is suppossed to get her shots soon in

order to start kindergarten. She will get the DTaP, IPV and MMR. I

have been reading that some people don't give their child these

because they might aggravate the seizures. I just don't know what to

do. Has anyone had any experience with this or know anything? I don't

want to give them to her if they are going to aggravate the seizures

but I don't want her not to have them and then have her get sick. Her

neurologist said it is f ine and to just give her Tylenol before hand

so she dosn't get a fever. But I am not thinking fever, I am thinking

if this will bother the epilepsy. Any advice would be greatly

appreciated! Thanks, Kim
