Vaccine: ANTH
Symptoms: Headache, Oral intake reduced
Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I am writing to you during the 90-day comment period on the anthrax vaccine. My husband is fighting overseas right now and yet he doesn't have the freedom to say no to the anthrax vaccine. As I've been reading about the anthrax vaccine and AVIP, some of the symptoms and diagnosis are frightening me, because my husband is already suffering from these symptoms. After three anthrax vaccines, he suddenly has headaches that incapacitate him. He never used to get headaches. These headaches are so bad that when he called the other night, he was only able to talk for a minute. Because of the headache, he was unable to eat that day. As a wife and a mother, I am very concerned about the anthrax vaccine. If this problem is effecting my family, then it most be effecting someone else's family. Maybe they aren't so lucky. Maybe its worse than bad headaches for them.

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I am veteran and I am submitting comments regarding the proposal to license Anthrax vaccine. I believe that prior to the war, I received one or more vaccinations that may have contained squalene. Within the last two years, I have been diagnosed with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome and Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder. I won't go into details regarding the decline in my health that has occurred within the last two years, but suffice it to say that I would not wish these medical problems on anyone.

Symptoms: Hypersensitivity, Injection site oedema, Injection site pain
Clinical narrative: Left arm swelling with pain from injection site at deltoid down to fingers, painful, occurred 1-2 hrs after injection, Benadryl PO given, Tylenol, ice applied to injection site, swelling decreased about 30 min, after ice applied. Follow up: I reported a possible adverse reaction to the Hep B on pt that occurred on 03/29/05. At that time we were unsure if the reaction was due to the vaccine or to something else, such as the band aid. Since that time pt has experienced the same reaction after having lab work done with a band-aid applied afterwards. Due to this I am considering her as being allergic to a component in band aids. I am planning on completing the hep B series at the appropriate interval.

Vaccine: DT
Symptoms: Abnormal behaviour, Agitation, Autism, Cough, Crying
Clinical narrative: Child was normal until given his first vaccine DT at 7 1/2 months of age. Later that day mod fever, very irritable, lot of screaming. Parents felt that by 2 weeks he was a changed child, later dx'd autistic. Pt's caregiver reports: I was pt's mother's caregiver during pregnancy. It was a normal pregnancy. Pt was born by cesarean section because of cephalopelvic disproportion. He showed normal growth and development for the first 7 1/2 months after birth. At his 7 1/2 months visit his development was normal and in fact exceptional in some respects-he was using the potty upon his parents command! He enjoyed peek-a-boo, was laughing, responding to his name. Enjoyed books, etc and was generally cheerful. There was no indication of any neurological or other difficulty. Also at that visit (7 1/2 months) he was given an injection of a single vaccine 0.5 of pediatric diphtheria/tetanus toxoid (DT). He had an immediate reaction to the vaccination that included fever and inconsolable crying. This incident appears to have marked a turning point in pt's development. He changed from a good natured, happy child to one who had became increasingly irritable and difficult. The next time I saw him was about 1 month after the vaccination. His chief complaint was a persistent cough. His parents reported that he had displayed unusually severe crying for about a week after the shot, and irritability, restlessness, poor sleep, etc. was continuing. My conclusion at that time was that he had had a significant neurological reaction to the vaccine. I saw him again about 3 1/2 months after the vaccination. His chief complaint at that time was fever with rash which we diagnosed as a viral exanthem. The irritability etc. was continuing. The next time we saw him was when he was 26 months old. It was obvious at that time that he was suffering from a developmental delay that stemmed from the time of the vaccination, and we recommended that he get specialized diagnosis and treatment. DX with autism about 8 months later. I haven't seen the child lately (in the past 3 years). I believe he is still autistic. The connection between the vaccination and the behavior/neurological disorder is obvious.
