Re: I have LOT #'s now what?

[Guest guest]

Tina,

I personally think you dr is full of it! Yesterday had his 6yo well

check and I asked the nurse for a copy of his 'immunization administration

record'. I told her that I was looking into how much thimerosal he

received. She gave me a copy of it which included the date, age, site,

manufactures, lot #, their initials and my signature....what an idiot I was!

I have a vaccination calculator from another website that I want to try.

The only other information I needed was my child's weight at the time the

vaccine was administered. I have all the baby records, and she also wrote

that down for me.

You have the right to any of your child's medical record and I would push a

little harder. I believe she told me that KlineBeechum (sp) was the

only manuf. for the DTaP and Hep B and that Merck was the only manuf for

MMR. I may be wrong and if others have this information.... I know they

will correct this statement.
