Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi All. I was always told that Kaitlyn could NOT get any live vaccines. She did not get any of her childhood shots. She started with IVIG at the age of 2 1/2 years. She is diagnosed as hypogammaglobulinemia - CVID/PID. Our Immunologist always told us that once she started receiving IVIG she did not need to worry about receiving her vacinations because she would be covered by the MANY donors it takes to make a dose of IVIG. We have had to have her move outf(to her grandmothersm with one of us staying with her) for 2 or 3 weeks when our son, who is healthy received any of his normal shots. We still do not knowingly go around anyone who is sick or been exposed to things like chicken pox or mumps and we do our best, if they will let you know, to NOT be around anyone who has received a live injection of any kind, including FluMist. I have never heard of a drug company " admitting " that something could be caused or " enhanced " by one of their products so to speak. I would love to have more info on that. Hugs, Xan, Mom to 17 1/2 Graduating on May 26th and headed to the CITADEL in Aug. & Kaitlyn, 12 1/2, CVID, Asthma, Chronis Sinusitis, & Reflux and headed to the 7th grade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
