I advised the technician that my last injection was in 2000 and I was assured that there was no problem to have the 5th injection. One week after the injection, I started to experience malaise, fever, backache, joint-aches.  These symptoms escalated for another week until I registered a fever of 103 F.  I went to the base-hospital and was told that there was no link to the injection.  I requested a script of Clindimycin.  My symptoms quickly resolved in 2-4 days.

Clinical narrative: Within 24 hours of receiving vaccine during the evening of 10/05/04. Child was irritable, wetting pants (was potty trained) began throwing temper tantrums (e.g. hitting, kicking, screaming) although he had no loss of verbalization skills noted instead of asking for things, he pointed or motioned and when not understood he screamed. Generally this child is very active, verbal, pleasant, sleeps through the night and had been potty trained for over 2 months. The evening of 10/6/04 he slept poorly and for the next 14 days he slept sporadically but for no longer than 23 hours at a time. Other family members noted the sudden change in his behavior; aunts, uncles, grandmother, in addition to his parents. It was thought to be just another phase in this 34 month olds development. Although he has asthma, he is only treated with albuterol when ill. He was healthy on 10/10/04 with no signs/symptoms of URI, but was so hyperactive he choked, coughed and progressed to having an asthma attack requiring 2 nebulizer Rx. The parents didn't know exactly what to think until their other 2 children's teachers called wondering if something was amiss at home since their response in school was unusual during that 2 weeks. At that time, the parents spoke with child's pediatrician and then today called about the vaccine. There are trace amounts of thimerosal in this vaccine. They wondered if it was vaccine related. Today, child is beginning to calm, has begun sleeping through the night approximately 1 week ago, has begun using the toilet again for approximately 1 week, speech is clearer, calmer, no tantrums for approximately 1 week. He had pink peeling skin on the palms of his hands and soles of his feet for approximately 3-4 days between 10/15/04 and 10/25/04; bad enough the parents told a friend.  (Child had hand/foot/mouth disease 5/04. This redness and peeling was not like that.). Child also began tripping and falling during the period of 10/10/04 until 10/25/04 which the parents attributed to new shoes, but this clumsiness persisted when he was barefoot. As of 10/31/04, his pink peeling skin has resolved, his excessive clumsiness has resolved. Overall, he seems to be improving to pre-vaccine status. Note: Some of his temper tantrums during this period lasted for up to 45 minutes and stopped only when the child was exhausted.) Looking back, the child stopped his language progression for 4 weeks after each of his 2 flu vaccines in 2003
