Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, What a shocking story! Here is the information from the package insert for Fluarix - one of the vaccines licensed in pregnancy. Use in pregnancy. (Category B2) Adequate human data on use during pregnancy and adequate animal reproduction studies are not available. Although there is no convincing evidence of risk to the fetus from immunisation of pregnant women using inactivated viral vaccines, Fluarix should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed. The NHMRC states that influenza vaccine is safe for pregnant women. There is evidence from a number of studies that pregnant women, particularly during the second and third trimester, are at increased risk of influenza associated complications. The NHMRC therefore recommends that all women who will be in the second or third trimester of pregnancy during the influenza season be vaccinated in advance, so that they will be protected during that period. Use in lactation. Adequate human data on use during lactation and adequate animal reproduction studies are not available. There is no known contraindication in the use of Fluarix during lactation. You should NEVER have received this vaccine during pregnancy and your doctor should be shot (preferably with multiple vaccines) for even suggesting it! Also, most flu vaccines contain thiomersal (mercury) which cannot be good for babies and which probably passes through the placenta - anyone have information on whether that does pass through the placenta and also whether vaccine antibodies will pass through into the baby. This would be interesting to know. Any research? All the best, Meryl From: Vaccinations [mailto:Vaccinations ] On Behalf Of Red San Sent: 8 April 2008 11:32 AM Vaccinations Subject: Re: Larry King Live Tonight Hey everyone- I'm a speech therapist with a 15 month old boy who works with vaccine-injured (aka autistic) children everyday. At 35 weeks, he was born premature three hours after receiving the flu shot. " You want your baby to have all of those good antibodies to flu, don't you?! " The nurse's questioning still echoes in my head....11 days in the NICU later, he came home. I started SLOWLY researching what had happened to me and realized FINALLY that vaccines are poison. He hasn't received any vaccines since his six month visit (unfortunately that means that alot) but NO MORE! My question is this...does anyone know of any research investigating the effects of flu shot on pregnant women? Why won't I be surprised when there is none.......? boxergirl8 Re: Larry King Live Tonight At 10:33 AM 4/3/2008, you wrote: Did you see the Mom of 6 children with autism?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thank you for the info! You know...there was that " little voice " in my head that said " You shouldn't get this.. " I got it, went home to take a nap, and woke up in labor. I was in active labor the next two hours and pushed for thirty minutes. He came out not being able to breathe so they threw him into the NICU. I barely saw him. He's doing great now, though. Praise God. I didn't put two and two together until I started all of my vac research. My pregnancy was going picture perfect until that flu shot...thank you for responding.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I’d send that info to your OB. I don’t think a formal complaint will do anything b/c vaccines are so revered. I mean, if you have nurses being threatened with being fired if they don’t keep their vaccines up to date, then you’ll be told it’s a coincidence and you would have gone into labor anyway. However, I’d still send it and tell him to really think about that flu shot and find out more about it. Most doctors don’t read the package inserts. Think about it.. do you? do you read the ingredient list on the foods you eat?.. (you general).. most people don’t. I certainly never thought about reading the package insert. Eye opening for me and reinforce on the doctors don’t read them either was when peter was a baby and I took him for some serious congestion and wanted a RX decongestant b/c the OTC was useless…and they wanted to shoot him up with vaccines. He was 6 months old. I said no. I wasn’t going to add stress to his system like that, it was already fighting a cold. ‘oh it’s OK unless they have a fever”…..no. Got home and found the package insert on line and even it said for whatever conditions peter had, matched their contraindications too. I was totally pissed and was glad I had stood my ground. The nurse got pretty snotty with me and we left the practice, w/ a letter to the chief doctor. She threatened to call DHR on us if “she didn’t see peter in here for his shots within the next 2 weeks”… uh huh. I don’t take well to threats, esp. when I’m the one footing the bill!!!!! My OB was perfectly happy to shoot me up w/ rhogam. I read the insert with and yep, it had mercury. She had no idea if it did or not… I went ahead with the shot b/c I didn’t have enough facts under my belt to on the day of the app’t to argue it…..I did w/ Isaac though.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 yes, yes, listen to your intuition!! We are so often taught to not listen to our inner voice by the so-called " experts " ! THANK YOU all very much--your help, knowlege and not to mention quick access (I wish our medical community would respond this quickly!) have saved our babies, our family. Sheri--a big thank you to you on that exemption form--took 5 minutes to complete and notorize yesterday! Will be taking it to my daughter's school. mabel Red San <boxergirl8@...> wrote: Thank you for the info! You know...there was that " little voice " in my head that said " You shouldn't get this..

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I cannot believe that nurse said that to you! Who do these people think they are? God? Oh wait...they probably do. Upon hearing that I was refusing my son's vaccinations at nine months, my pediatrician said to me " An ex-Playboy Bunny goes on Oprah and now no one wants their kid vaccinated... " She actually said that. That was the LAST time I ever graced her office! RE: Vaccinating pregnant women I’d send that info to your OB.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Now, wait. That's actually good news. " No one wants their kids vaccinated now? " You mean there are throngs of parents refusing vaccines at her office? Yeeha!! The parents are either finally waking up or finally getting the courage to speak up.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah, that's a good way to look at it! The second pediatrician I went to said (when I told her I don't vaccinate) " Yeah, we have a group of parents around here that don't do it. I make them sign a waiver and you'll have to too. " I was like, " Man, can you give me their names?! " Hee hee.... RE: Vaccinating pregnant women > > I’d send that info to your OB.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The tide is turning. My doc offered to sign medical exemptions for all of my kids for all vaccines based on my oldest son's reaction but I turned it down because I have the religious exemption. Now that offer wouldn't have been given 15 years ago! Winnie RE: Vaccinating pregnant women > > > > I’d send that info to your OB.
