My daughter, 32y/o, was injured by the dpt vaccine, in her fifth month. She is now multi-challenged: non-verbal, non-ambulatory, and severe and profoundly retarded. She has seizures every day, and her cognitive level is between 6 - 8 months.

We do not get vaccines, neither do I vaccinate my dogs (except for what the law forces on us).

Oh I am so sorry that your baby was affected by the dpt vaccine in this way.... thank GOD my children have no permanent damage... the doctors did tell me with my oldest daughter following her spinal tap for meningitis that she would likely not make it.... and if she did, that she would not come through it without some severe brain damage....... she is now 22 years old - a beautiful, healthy girl - and gave me my first grandbaby last Christmas day!!
I get SO angry when I think about all we've been through due to the vaccines - - - - but then I hear heartbreaking stories like yours and I realize how very much I am blessed!!!
I can't imagine how this must have changed your entire life.... bless you and your precious girl...

That is awful. I am very sorry to hear about your daughter. That is so sad. With all the technology today, these kinds of things should not be happening.

Pa state law requires Rabies vaccine to be made current every 3 years. recently the distemper, parafluenza, parvo vaccine can be given every 3 years after puppy shots have been given at proper intervals of 6,9,12,and 16 weeks, then given at 1 yr of age. Where I work we give 1 or 2 vaccines at one time, then do other vaccines such as lyme or bordatella (kennel cough) 1-2 weeks later. Vets are really taking a close look at how much in the way of vaccines is too much. We have titred dogs who have received several doses of lyme vaccine over several years and some are still immune while others no longer are just a year from last vaccine. It seems to be an individual thing as to how often some vaccines need to be given.

Kevin that sounds more like lyme disease especially that far out from having the vaccine in Oct. Have you talked to a vet about the symtoms? Depending on where you live ticks carry lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever, and erlichia, all of which can present with those symtoms.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. I didn't get the pertussis part of the DT for my kids either when I heard of all the nasty side effects. That was 20 years ago. I would rather deal with hooping cough. I can't believe how many immunizations there now are for children, dealing with grandchildren, and they give 6 or 7 at one time whew!!
