Reaction Registry Wall

Vaccines can sometimes cause injury and death and these risks can be greater for some than others. Since 1982, the NVIC has operated a Vaccine Reaction Registry, which has served as a watchdog on reports submitted to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). NVIC's Vaccine Reaction Wall is provided for the public to share their vaccine adverse event experiences and are displayed chronologically. Click to view stories about vaccine harassment and vaccine failures.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for options on reporting vaccine harassment, failures and reactions. When you submit your stories to NVIC your identity will be kept confidential.

    In 1997, my 5yr old got the MMR to enter Kindergarten. He had soccer practice an hour later. It was a hot, September afternoon. During the following weeks, he started acting differently. He would tire quickly, become "whinny" and fussy, complaining he was hungry and thirsty. I was a working Mom and very active. At soccer games he would drag his feet and run off the field during the game wanting water.... I thought he was just being silly-- that is, until he started wetting the bed. He soaked the bed twice and still had to make more-- then he would guzzle whole bottles of water! I took him to the doctor, as I feared these are symptoms of Diabetes. He was spilling Ketones and his blood sugar was through the roof. He was diagnosed as Type 1 diabetes. It was very difficult to comprehend how this happened-- my mother was Diabetic from her 20's when I was 5yrs old, so I recognized the symptoms early. She passed away at 48. I found Barbara's book quite by accident. It was then I was 100% sure the MMR shot had something to do with my son's illness. He had an autoimmune reaction.

    We visited for my son's 13th wellness visit. After 2 years of denying the vaccine; I felt the risk outweighed in favor of protecting him by using the vaccine. After carefully listening to me about my concerns in Daymons potential likelihood of inhibition of an auto immune disease and his history of needing steroids to calm an allergic reaction that wouldn't reapond to zyrtek or benadryl. After injection, we were lucky that I was holding Daymon during his shot. He fell forward into me. I laid him down and instructed the nurse to fetch the Doctor quickly. My son's eyes were dialated and he was unresponsive. He is lucky to not have gotten more seriously hurt from a fall. The nurse was not monitoring this event as closely as I was, unfortunately. I am here 24 hours after injection writing this entry. Hoping for answers. Is my baby going to be okay?
