Vaccine: DTAP, HEPA, MMR
Symptoms: Pallor, Pyrexia, Screaming, Staring, Streptococcal identification test negative
Clinical narrative: About 3 hours, after the vaccines, my daughter started making moving in a weird way I had never seen before.  I put her in her crib because she I thought she was either achy or overtired.  She started shreiking. I took her out of her crib, and she was still making the weird movements(which I later realized was a seizure).She finally cried herself to sleep.  A few minutes later, she started vomiting in her sleep.  She projectile vomitted 5 times, then went limp and looked gray.  I called the doctors and brought her back in around 4:00pm.  She was listless, and just staring. She vomited 2 more times there.  We were sent to the ER, where she continued to be listless and stare.  She vomited 2 more times in triage.  She was admitted and a CAT scan was performed on her head, and blood work was done.  She also was rehydrated.  Once, she was rehydrated, she was seemingly better.  All tests came back negative, and we were sent home.  When we got home she vomited 2 more times.  Day 2, she was still crampy.  Day 3 and 4 she was good.  Day 5 - 9, she had a fever ranging from 103-105.  Not sleeping, and not eating or drink much.  Went back to doctors twice where more urine and blood tests were done, all which came back negative.  We are on Day 9 now, and this is the first day she seems herself again.  I will keep my fingers crossed.  02/03/2009 MR received from PCP including ER d/c note and vax records. Pt in for 15 month WCC 1/16/09 with normal exam and good growth and development.  Returned to office that pm after episode of pt appearing uncomfortable and rocking around when pt hit head on door.  Fell asleep after then began projectile vomiting. PE (+) for gray color, crabbiness and vomiting.  Referred to ER. ER visit 1/16/09 with DX:  Vomiting. Dehydration. PE (+) for pallor and dry mucous membranes. Condition improved with IVF and d/c. Returned to PCP 1/20/09 with fever. PE (+) for shotty anterior cervical adenopathy, otherwise WNL.

Clinical narrative: My daughter received her first GARDASIL vaccine in March 2008. Within 24 hours she began experiencing a horrible backache that did not go away for a couple of weeks. she had her first seizure at the end of April. She received her second shot at the beginning of May. She had three more seizures and in June began having daily seizures. She also experienced severe stomach aches, headaches, vision problems, UTI's, body aches and extreme fatigue. She also had an abnormal pap after this vaccine. She was hospitalized multiple times and had to have paramedics come multiple times as well. Fortunately, we figured this out before the third shot or I'm not sure she would have survived. She was perfectly healthy, none of these symptoms prior to the GARDASIL. She is getting better now and the seizures are less frequent though she just had one on January 8, 2009. She is still experiencing stomach aches and body aches and fights the fatigue. I know GARDASIL Caused this. She was a very athletic, active, healthy girl before that vaccine and now she is not. I can't believe anyone is still endorsing giving this vaccine. It makes me furious, especially when I've discovered there have been nearly 15,000 adverse reactions to this vaccine. All EEGS, bloodwork, etc. have been normal and the Neurologist cannot explain the seizures and other health problems. In addition, the doctor that gave her this vaccine gave her no information and just told her she needed to have the vaccine.

Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Axillary pain, Chills, Fatigue, Herpes simplex, Lymphadenopathy
Clinical narrative: Three days after I received the ZOSTAVAX injection , I broke out with a rash on my right arm. It was 2-3 cm wide, consisted of pruritic small red papules and extended from the medical aspect of my wrist across my arm and ended at my elbow. The rash persisted for about 10 days. IN August 2008, I noted a 1.5 cm tender lymph node in my right axillary are, with no other signs or symptoms of infection. It lasted about one week. The following week, I began having chills, fever, and symptoms of a mild URI. About the third day of chills and fever, I also noted a purulent nasal discharge and pain in my posterior neck. I consulted a doctor at a local walk-in clinic, and he drew a CBC and sed rate and gave me a prescription of CIPRO. He did not tell me the results of the CBC, but he did say the sed rate was elevated "indicating that I had some type of infection". The next day, I broke out with a  large herpes simplex lesion inside my nasal passage, and the chills, fever, and pain in my neck disappeared. After that, I had another outbreak of herpes simplex in my nose about one month and two months from the initial outbreak. On Friday January 16th, 2009, I had fatigue and muscle aches. The next day, I broke out with 2 herpes simplex lesions on my upper lip. I also kissed my husband on January 16th, and the next day he broke out with herpes simplex lesions on his lip. I do feel that the rash on my arm was a direct result of the ZOSTAVAX injection, even though it did not appear vesicular. I cannot prove that the herpes simplex lesions are a result of the vaccination, however before I took it, I was not prone to have recurrent herpes outbreaks, and certainly not this frequently, and not with severe prodromal symptoms like I have had. My husband and I are both 65, happily married, monogamous and devout Christians. I did previously work in public health as a nurse practitioner and examined patients in the family planning and STD clinics, but I retired 2 years ago, and have no contact with the patients since then. I seek no damages or compensation for this report. My only wish is to record my experience in case other patients have had or will in the future have problems with ZOSTAVAX. I have no regrets for taking the vaccine. Herpes simplex will be a small price to pay to prevent herpes zoster.
