Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 If I am reading correctly from this link (thanks Dawn!), the MMRV is slated to make a come-back in 2009. It was pulled recently because it was causing a high number of febrile seizures. As I was reading the " CDC Update " from the Redbook Online, my husband was reading over my shoulder. It contains the following: " Febrile seizures are not uncommon in young children and generally have an excellent prognosis (7), although they often are distressing to parents and other family members. Approximately one in 25 (4%) young children will have at least one febrile seizure, usually at age 6--59 months; the peak age for febrile seizures is 14--18 months (5,7). Febrile seizures occur most commonly with the fevers caused by typical childhood illnesses, such as middle ear infections, viral upper respiratory tract infections, and roseola, but can be associated with any condition that results in fever. Febrile seizures can occur after certain vaccinations, although rarely. MMR vaccination has been associated previously with febrile seizures occurring 8--14 days later; approximately one additional febrile seizure occurs among every 3,000--4,000 children vaccinated with MMR vaccine, compared with children not vaccinated during the preceding 30 days (8). " My husband became outraged, stating, " You mean they are now making up that seizures are NORMAL in a child so they can call their vaccine safe and state that the seizures don't need to be reported as an adverse event?!?!? " Up until last night he couldn't see why my passion could be so strong for become vaccine educated and wanting to spread the word to everyone I can about it. He's of the " Don't ask, don't tell " school when it comes to non-vaxing. He really doesn't want everyone knowing we don't vax. All I could think last night was.... " Welcome to my passion, Honey!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yes, those severe reactions are called " common " or " normal " when they happen often enough. It's total madness.
