From: " Kirby " <dkirby@...>

If a patient has “ANY reaction that does not

involve the injection site,” military doctors

should, “avoid multiple vaccines in one session

for this patient,” when giving future doses.

Why aren’t pediatricians being told this?

Comments

Systemic Events (SE): Symptoms and signs of

illness after vaccination. Any reaction that does

not involve the injection site.

& #61623 Temporal relationship does NOT prove a

cause-effect relationship, particularly if

multiple vaccines were given and/or other

specific diagnoses of illness have occurred.

& #61623 Healthcare provider should provide appropriate diagnostic evaluation.

& #61623 In some cases, give pretreatment to avert

symptoms with next vaccination, to avoid

morbidity, but allowing for continued

vaccination.<http://www.vhcinfo.org/Vaccination/SE13.htm#2#2>2

& #61623 If mild and self-limited, may proceed with next dose.

& #61623 Avoid multiple vaccines in one session for this patient, if possible.

& #61623 Privileged healthcare providers may make

clinical decisions to alleviate future discomfort

for individual patients who develop substantial

or persistent reactions.<http://www.vhcinfo.org/Vaccination/SE13.htm#7#7>7-8

& #61623 VAERS reporting discussed in text.
