Also vets are very reluctant to admit that the pharmaceuticals they administered might have been a problem so they tend to say it was just a coincidence. Until the reporting becomes mandatory we will never get the info we need to determine if a drug is worth using. |
Many times, reactions are handled by ER staff, not the doctor who administered the vaccine, and so the 'reaction' tends not to ever be 'linked' to the vaccine and/or reported to the doctor who vaccinated that patient, and may not be reported for these reasons also. Plus, adverse and/or 'inconvenient' documentation/complaints/etc. may fall victim to "misfiling" as well.
