" At Wednesday's hearing, Kidd plans to present her evidence

that the risks outweigh the potential benefits.

Although the bill requires parents to see the information from the

package insert and give written consent, she'd ultimately like to see

hepatitis B vaccines given only to children 10 and over, old enough to

complain of symptoms if they have a reaction.

Frightful episode

A few hours after the es brought their newborn son, Zakkary, home from

the hospital in November 2009, he turned blue and stopped

breathing.

Emergency room doctors found signs typically associated with shaken baby

syndrome: bleeding in the brain and spinal fluid. They sent Zakkary to

Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, then to Doernbecher Children's

Hospital in Portland, where he suffered episodes of apnea and

seizures.

Normally, evidence of shaking would lead to a criminal investigation. But

fortunately for the es, a visiting nurse from Coos County's Healthy

Start program had witnessed events when Zakkary stopped breathing, and

could attest he hadn't been shaken.

Instead, doctors decided, he'd had a stroke.

In 2009, and Sara and their newborn son Zakkary had a close

call. An apparent reaction to a hepatitis B vaccine gave Zakkary a stroke

-- and could have sent his parents to jail.

The es were lucky. Now Zakkary's grandmother, Kidd, is on a

mission to make sure that other families don't have to go through what

hers did.

She convinced state Rep. Arnie Roblan, D-Coos Bay, to introduce House

Bill 2635, a bill requiring medical personnel to show parents the package

insert about side effects that comes with the vaccine before

administering it.

On Wednesday, she's going to Salem to testify before the Oregon House of

Representatives' Health Care Committee in support of HB 2635.

But with the Oregon Pediatrics Society opposing the bill, she'll have a

tough audience.

fortunately for the es, a visiting nurse from Coos County's Healthy

Start program had witnessed events when Zakkary stopped breathing, and

could attest he hadn't been shaken.

Instead, doctors decided, he'd had a stroke.

After four weeks at Doernbecher, Zakkary was sent home with a breathing

and heartbeat monitor, and medication to control seizures. He's now doing

fine.

Vaccine and strokes

Meanwhile Kidd, who is 's mother, had started researching

Zakkary's symptoms.

She found that other babies had suffered strokes after getting the

hepatitis B vaccine that is routinely administered at birth and two

months after.

She consulted doctors who treated shaken babies and attorneys who

defended their parents to find out how many times a baby's problems had

arisen after a vaccination.

For example, she thinks Tyler , a 19-year-old County man,

was unjustly sentenced to probation last May for shaking his baby in

February, when in fact he was trying to get her to breathe. na

's injuries occurred shortly after her two-month booster

vaccinations.

Kidd said she also found that reports of shaken baby syndrome have risen

since newborns started getting the vaccine.

After gathering hundreds of pages of evidence, she convinced Roblan to

introduce the bill.

Why vaccinate?

In Oregon, babies have been vaccinated against hepatitis B since about

2000. Lena Hawtin, clinic supervisor at the Coos County Public Health

Department, said state and local agencies follow the lead of the U.S.

Centers for Disease Control, which recommends the shot.

Hawtin didn't immediately have statistics about the incidence of

hepatitis B in babies before immunization became common. But she

explained that vaccination soon after birth can prevent infection because

babies born to infected mothers get the disease not in the womb but from

contact with the mother's fluids during birth. They can also get it from

household contact with infected family members.

A 2005 report from CDC said infected babies suffer more liver damage than

older people who become infected.

Doctors oppose bill

The Oregon Pediatrics Society opposes the bill, and plans to testify

against the bill Wednesday.

In a letter to Roblan, Dr. Katharine Zuckerman, chairwoman of the

society's legislative committee, wrote, 'Immunization involves a

balancing of risks and benefits. "

She said the evidence connecting hepatitis vaccination with strokes in

infants was slim, and that the requirement in the bill might frighten or

confuse parents.

'Many more children will be harmed by hepatitis B than they will by this

obscure vaccine 'side effect' that has not even been proven to

exist, " she wrote.

Seeks supporters

At Wednesday's hearing, Kidd plans to present her evidence that the risks

outweigh the potential benefits.

Although the bill requires parents to see the information from the

package insert and give written consent, she'd ultimately like to see

hepatitis B vaccines given only to children 10 and over, old enough to

complain of symptoms if they have a reaction.

She invites anyone with an interest in the issue to attend the hearing

and to testify in person or via e-mail.
