Petition for mandatory reaction reporting - please sign and forward!

[Guest guest]

please

sign and share this petition. The AVN would like to require reporting

of all adverse reactions following vaccination; require that the

vaccination status be revealed when cases of 'vaccine preventable'

illnesses are reported, and a study be conducted using the data from

the ACIR which shows who is vaccinated and...

who is unvaccinated, to see how much money is spent on healthcare in

each group. This information is vital - please support these efforts.If you could share this petition on Facebook, Myspace, MSN, , Twitter and every other social networking site you can think of, that would be great. Let's take this petition out to the world - the AVN will be lobbying parliament to ensure that this legislation is passed.http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/better-information-on-vaccine-safety-and-effectiveness/We the undersigned agree with the findings of the recent Stokes Report

in Western Australia. These findings demonstrate that vaccine reactions

are not being properly reported and as a result, Australian children

are being placed at risk. We support the introduction of legislation to

achieve the following goals to remedy this situation.1- A

requirement for all health practitioners to report vaccine reactions to

the TGA when these reactions are reported to them by parents. For the

purposes of this legislation, the definition of an adverse reaction

will be defined as those listed in Appendix 6 of the 9th Edition of the Australian Immunisation Handbook. The penalties involved in either failing to or refusing to report will be a loss of bonuses paid under the General Practice Immunisation Incentive (GPII).2-

A requirement to reveal the vaccination status of those who contract

'vaccine preventable' illnesses. Currently, this information is not

tracked and indeed, the forms used by doctors don't even ask for this

information, leading to a gap in our knowledge about the effectiveness

of the currently-licensed vaccines.3- The funding of a study

using the already-available information from the Australian Childhood

Immunisation Register's (ACIR's) database which currently tracks who is

vaccinated and who is not. The ACIR is linked with the Medicare

database, meaning that this study will be inexpensive and easy. This

study would provide information comparing the amount of Medicare money

spent on healthcare for vaccinated Australians as compared with

unvaccinated Australians. This information will give us a good

indication of the overall health status of both groups
