VACCINE REACTIONS AND MOTHERS’ DESCRIPTIONS
High Fever (over 103) “His temperature was 105 degrees. I had to put cool towels on him to bring the fever down.”
Skin (hives, rashes, swelling) ”There was a big, hot, swollen lump at the site of the shot that stayed for weeks.”
High Pitched Screaming “It was a pain cry, a shrill scream and lasted for hours and nothing would help.”
Collapse/Shock “She turned white with a blue tinge around her mouth and went completely limp.”
Excessive Sleepiness “He passed out and we couldn’t wake him to feed or do anything for over 12 hours.”
Convulsions “Her eyes twitched, her chin trembled, her body went rigid and then would shake.”
Brain Inflammation “He just laid in his crib with his eyes wide open then would arch his back and scream and go unconscious. Now he has seizures.”
Behavior Changes “She won’t sleep or eat. She throws herself down and screams for no reason. She was sweet and happy and is now out of control. She changed into a totally different child.”

In the 1970’s, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said children should get 23 doses of 7 vaccines by age 6. The first vaccinations were given at 2 months old.
Today, the CDC and AAP tell doctors to give children 48 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6. The first vaccination is given at 12 hours old in the newborn nursery. At age 2 months, a baby can receive 8 vaccines in a single day. At age 15 to 18 months, a child can receive as many as 12 vaccines in a single day.
