Are all Vaccinations safe? What about Adverse Reactions?



Please read and make an informed choice.I feel that after reading my Story on Hayden that it is still your decision to vaccinate your child or not to vaccinate. Sometimes we take risks,either way its up to you as a parent.I am not a Doctor, I am only a Mum who had to tell others what happened to my son Hayden after his vaccine reactions, What has happened since been accepted for Medical Misadventure because of an Adverse Event.

Hayden's Story , Updated 5th September 2003.


Greetings, My name is Sharron. I have a vaccine damaged child from the DPT vaccination,this happened to Hayden three times! Hayden has been brain damaged from his 6 weeks, 3 month and 5 month DTP VACCINATIONS in 1988. He is under our ACC system for Medical Misadventure/ Mishap. I have been building this site as I feel if I had been informed better,I may not of vaccinated our son with the Pertussis part of the Vaccine. Who vaccinates a baby who is sick ? We all have to be aware that vaccinations are not always Safe and that in NEW ZEALAND where I live the figures given to Parents/Health workers are not always correct, Mandatory Reporting is not in New Zealand.


Please look in the links area, read the information as there are so many sad cases of children being either damaged for life, let alone the ones that die. Please bookmark this site and tell others to have a look,I have also included a poem I wrote in 1999.


Our Son Hayden will never be normal. His reaction to the DPT vaccine has lead to long-term chronic, physical, mental, emotional and neurological disturbances that will remain with Hayden in some form for the remainder of his life. We love him very much and hope that as he gets older that Hayden will understand what happened to him and that he will forgive me letting the doctors carry ON, giving him his SHOTS. I will never forgive myself for what I did. I should have said NO. It is to late for Hayden but not for other children. I believe that vaccinations are not for some children, perhaps there is a place for them in society but not in our house.The Doctors need to do alot more studies on vaccines and the reactions they cause.If there had been better reporting system in New Zealand perhaps Hayden would been monitored,they would have picked up the problem and he would be like other children.


Our Son was sick when he was vaccinated. He should not have had his shots at that time. I will never know why the doctor gave them to him.

You might be wondering what sort of reaction to the DPT Hayden had. This is exactly what happened to Hayden after his 5 month vaccination to the DPT:

-10:30 a.m.: DPT administered by Doctor.
-11:15 a.m.: Red Rash, whole swollen thigh.
-12:20 p.m.: Hayden started screaming, very high pitched (very much resembled the so-called CRI ENCEPHALIGUE), back arching so his head and feet were touching. I still remember this cry
-02:20 p.m.: Returned to doctor, Hayden was INCONSOLABLE, FEVER 40 , HIGH PITCHED SCREAM, ARCHING ALL THE TIME.
-03:34 p.m.: Arrived at a hospital by ambulance, screaming, irritable, fever, and swollen leg + + + +
-06:00 p.m.: Another ambulance to a childrens hospital, arrived still doing all of the above.
-08:00 p.m.: Assessment, lusty screaming high pitched, arching.
-11:00 p.m.: Still screaming but now had spells when he would smile, then start arching and scream , fever 39.5



Please remember that this went on for 10 hours, he was only 5 months old. I cant believe that some Doctors said this was a local reaction!! GET REAL. Any worse than this and Hayden could have died.

At the Hospital they wrote in his notes ALLERGIC REACTION to DPT (it makes me so mad, because they didnt really give us information about the Reaction, what could happened to Hayden! What to look out for in the future). I believe that they knew Hayden would have problems but NEVER TOLD US. Hayden was unsettled the rest of the night. He then went to sleep and slept 24 hours without waking. When he woke he was lethargic and our plunket nurse comments when she visited 4 days later "very Lethargic baby"!! Hayden started sleeping far more than he had previously, was very jerky and tense, and now 10 years later still is. (To say to parents that if your child has a reaction to a vacccine like Hayden did and not suffer any damage is not true).


Have you any idea what it is like to be unable to do anything for 10 hours while your baby screams and arches his back nonstop? In hospital we were very distressed that we could do nothing to help settle Hayden. I was in tears at times and asked staff why can't they stop the screaming! WE were told that this screaming was called "CEREBRAL SCREAMING" and that the vaccine had GONE TO HIS BRAIN. That was why he screamed and arched. Have you any idea how angry it makes me when Dr ....... defines Haydens reaction as a "LOCAL REACTION"? He was not there, I was, and that was no local reaction . His blood work in Hospital showed TOXIC NEUTROPHIL CHANGES PRESENT. QUESTION.... If a child has an allergic reaction to the DPT vaccine, red rash, swollen thigh 45 mins afterwards, screams non-stop and so violently that a hospital can't cope and send him to another hospital, all the above continues for 10 hours, then intermittenly another 12 hours, doing what we are told by hospital personnal was a "CEREBRAL SCREAM", does this not indicate an "acute encephalopathic reaction?(A local Reaction!! My goodness do they take all parents for fools?)


At no point was any follow up done on Hayden , no evaluation or investigation on his neurological status. At no point did anyone report Haydens reaction To The Centre for Adverse Reactions Committee in New Zealnd. We know that Haydens vaccine reaction fulfills the medical dictionary definition of encephalopathy - ie 'An acute reaction of the brain to a variety of toxic or infectious agents, without any actual inflammation such as occurs in encephalities. I know there is a conspiracy of silence about DPT vaccine reactions. NO ONE wants to take responsibility for injuring a child with the pertussis vaccine. There is in New Zealand a terrible breakdown in communication and the truth about the risks of pertussis vaccine will be known only after the careful repair of all the links in the REPORTING CHAIN, from the BABY/Parents whose lives can be ruined, up through the doctors and Government Health agencies responsible for setting vaccine policy and MONITORING ADVERSE VACCINE REACTIONS. A favourite way to escape the undeniable truth that a child had neurological problems following a DPT shot is to claim that the problem is due to "other causes". Some Doctors will try to convince parents that the child had an "UNDERLYING DISORDER" which would have eventually been manifested even without the DPT SHOT.



As far as the NEW ZEALAND ESTABLISHMENT goes about Vaccination reactions, I see the questions being asked about vaccinations , but the ranks close with amazing unanimity. An even more alarming aspect of political immunology is the medical establishments suppression of unfavourable adverse reaction data and its unwillingness to give a forum to Physicians/Parents who have a different opinion or point out flaws in the official studies of the benefits and risks of vaccines. The Medical / Government establishments are powerful, it is a long-standing tradition that you do not contradict your colleagues. This is part of the reason that the REPORTING SYSTEM ON ADVERSE VACCINE REACTIONS in New Zealand has not been improved, why reactions are not been recognised, and why CHILDREN CONTINUE to suffer.


A Letter from a Government Minister states: "The Government of New Zealand is committed to immunisation as an essential component of improving our children's health". WELL THANK YOU TO THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT FOR "IMPROVING" MY SONS HEALTH!!

Haydens Education progress as at 4/9/2003.


Hayden at school with his friends (taken in 1999), he loves to play muisic , he also has a broken arm in this picture..


Despite improvements, Hayden continues to have significant ongoing cognitive, learning, and behavioural difficulties when compared with other children in his age group. In particular, Hayden continues to have difficulty following complex instructions, recalling information consistently, and maintaining concentration. Behaviour problems arising from ongoing fatigue continue to require behavioural intervention both at home and at school.

Family Functioning

Although behaviour and SAFETY problems are being managed more effectively, it is the lack of PREDICTABILITY and INCONSISTENCY in Hayden's behaviour that continues to be a concern. Hayden's fatigue levels, as well as restessness, often trigger outbursts of anger or defiant behaviours.

My Family, Mark (Husband and Father of my Children )Cameron(9) Clinton(12) and Hayden (10) at the snow for the first time last year 98

Horse Riding /Swimming Therapy


To improve extension against gravity and in turn his posture and symmetry. To improve shoulder girdle stability. To Develop safety skills, To increase tolerance to water (so hair washing at home isnt a screaming match) Hayden hates water near him !!

Hayden was going to the same school as his brothers Clinton (14) and Cameron (11). De La Salle College in Mangere, Auckland. The school was great with Hayden, He had made heaps of friends there and seemed to be fitting in very well after the first term of School. He had a fulltime teacher aid who helped Hayden as required. Now Hayden goes to a High School in Auckland, and goes to Mainsteam classes for all his subjects. He goes back to the unit for CATCH UP during the week. He has been there for over a year now and seems to be much happier.



Hayden during the school holidays last year in a limo, He loved the whole trip.The smile on his face was worth every bit of the cost.

ANOTHER Letter from Hayden (this is his own story, writing, spelling,written by him in August, 1998).

MY NAME IS HAYDEN RULE,I AM 10 AND A AHRF YERS OLD AND I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO MYOLD SCHOOL BECCCUSE THEY WERE NOT NOIC TO ME AND NO ONE LIKEDD ME AND I GO TO MT ROIKL PRIMEYPD AND IF YOU CLOCE IT DOWN I WILL NOT LANATHINY AND I WILL BILLIT ALL OIN YOU. ME AND MY FRENDS WILL NOITBE HAPPY BECASE WE WILL NOT SEE ESHE ATHERE AGENN AND THEN THE SHRESIS I HAVE TO DO I CARNT FO THEM WITH OUT THEM AND I WILL HAVE SORE LEGS.. BECSE MY FAMLE WILL NOT BE HAPPY AND I DOT WHONT TO GO TO MY OLD SCHOOL. PLLECE LITE THE UNIT STAY OPIN.


As I have said before, When these people say to us that Haydens Damage will not last( or even that a vaccine reaction cannot cause this) I would like you to visit us, Talk to Hayden , explain to us your views,then try and tell us the sort of Reaction to the Vaccination that Hayden had, didn't cause this damage...Hayden is under the New Zealand Government ACC system. This means the New Zealand government have taken responsibilty for this MEDICAL MISADVENTAGE.


I wonder Why!!


I USED TO SIT QUIETY AND WONDER WHY

HOW I WAS TAKEN IN

A LESSON HARD, BUT TRUE

VACCINES POISONED HIM I KNOW

MY BEAUTIFUL "moon child"

NOW, HOW I WEEP

AS THE SEASONS PASS

I SAW HIS SHINING STAR DECLINE

MY PERFECT BABY LOST

HIS POTENTIAL ROBBED

HIS FUTURE, CROWNED WITH UNCERTAINTIES

I GRIEVE AT WHAT I BELIEVE WAS THE BEST

I ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE THEIR WAY

TRUSTING THEIR WORDS

NEVER QUESTIONNED THEIR SCIENCE

AND MY CHOICE WAS WRONG

THESE PEOPLE SHOULD FEEL SHAME

AS THEY CONSIDER MY CHILD

WHERE IS THEIR GUILT?OR IS IT ALL MINE!

ALL PEOPLE HAVE FAULTS

EVEN I HAVE THEM

VACCINES POISONED HIM I KNOW

I WISH I COULD CHANGE IT ALL

AS I WATCH HIM EVERYDAY

MY PERFECT BABY'S FUTURE

SHATTERED IN EVERY WAY

I NOW KNOW WHY!

******WRITTEN WITH LOVE AND GUILT BY HIS MUM SHARRON **
