Vaccines: TAKING A SHOTby Dr. Regan Golob |

This month I had an experience with
vaccinations. A little one-year old girl had a severe reaction to
her DPT, (Diphtheria, Pertussa, Tetanus) vaccine. In reaction to
this situation, I was prompted to do some research on
vaccinations. One interesting article titled, "A Pharmacist Questions Vaccines " appeared in the December 1994 issue of The American Chiropractor. Some alarming statistics were listed in this article. For example, within a thirty-nine month period ending in November of 1993, the F. D. A. Vaccine Adverse Reporting System collected nearly 32,000 reports of adverse reactions following vaccination, with more than 700 deaths. DPT vaccine was associated with more than 12,000 of these reports, including 471 of the related deaths. "The F. D. A. acknowledges that this voluntary reporting underestimates the actual number of reactions." The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) was passed in 1986, establishing the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). As of July 5, 1994, the program has paid $452.5 million for vaccine injury or death, and is back-logged with more than 2,600 claim cases--all of which will not be settled for several years. This information doesn't give me much faith in the medical profession's preventative care program. I am not writing this as a for or against position -- just advising that one should make an educated decision on vaccines, whether for children or for animals. |
Suggested practices for
before and after a vaccination:
Educate yourself about vaccinations--your pharmacist doctor, or veterinarian can give you information regarding the risks of a vaccine. Don't do something out of fear or because everybody else does it. |
