I have been informed of the risk of my child developing paralytic disease and meningitis associated with poliomyelitis. Paralytic symptoms may follow contraction of polio. Live virus is reportedly shed for up to eight weeks after the inoculation. Killed polio virus vaccine is grown on monkey kidney cells, contains formaldehyde, and triple antibiotics. The live vaccine is grown on monkey kidney cells, antibiotics and calf serum.
Treatment is available.
The vaccine is often combined with the DPT which has the highest reaction rate of any vaccine available today. I have been informed of the risk of my child developing whooping cough, pneumonia, convulsions, inflammation of the brain, and death associated with pertussis. Those in the 2nd study were only tracked for the first 48 hours following immunization. The DaPT is recommended as a safer option for vaccination. The Diphtheria component is most often given within the DPT or DaPT and includes the same side effects and reactions as those listed for pertussis.
