Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 One of my branch members' daughter was very unwell almost 2 weeks after her jab (has written me a newsletter article about it). She suffered a series of fits - 12 in just over 16 hours. It can't be proved that the vacc caused the seizures, but as a result of the case, this has been noted as a possible reaction. >Just out of interest if people have experienced side effects/reactions to >this, what were they & when did they appear? >Does the age of the child make any diff (in your experience) -i got the " oh >no no side effect " spiel from the HV when i asked. > >Angi 0:-) >__________________________________________ >Angi,Tim, Georgiana (1 Nov 97) & na (28 Jul 99) Nutt >http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=695377 >password: twickenham >__________________________________________ > > > > >Live chat /chat/nct-coffee > >Have you found out about all the other groups for the NCT online? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD no redness or pain. she was 2 3/4 DS2 was 18 months no reaction DS3 at 2, 3 and 4 months. Slight temperature but I couldn't say it was the men c.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 DS2 had it when he was oh, 16 weeks, with the DPT and polio, then two more at monthly intervals. No problems. DS1 had it, must have been about 20 months. Friend's nephew had it (? with the other routine imms - though I'd be surprised if the HPs would describe it as a clear reaction to Men C in that case?), certainly as a young baby and had fits and was described as not right for months after (? due to anti-convulsants) OK now, but obviously nasty. -- jennifer@...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 Angi asked: Just out of interest if people have experienced side effects/reactions to this, what were they & when did they appear? 's reply: We had no probs at all. DH had his recently (@2yr10m). As with his baby jabs I gave him calpol immediately (ie while still in the surgery) and we were fine.

Are the Men C vaccines different at different ages?? Josh only had a single one with his MMR @ 15 1/2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 Both of mine have had it in the last few months and had absolutely no side effects, except for starting Caleb's fear of 'pricks' (see earler email 'Help Me').
