What does a vaccine reaction look like?

Vaccine Reactions	Mother's description
High fever (over 103°F)	His temperature was 105 degrees. I had to put cool towels on him to bring the fever down.
Skin (hives, rashes, swelling)	There was a big, hot swollen lump at the site of the shot that stayed for weeks
High pitched screaming	It was a pain cry, a shrill scream and lasted for hours and nothing would help.
Collapse/shock	She turned white with a blue tinge around her mouth and went completely limp
Excessive sleepiness	He passed out and we couldn't wake him to feed or do anything for over 12 hours.
Convulsion	Her eyes twitched, her chin trembled, her body went rigid and then would shake
Brain inflammation	He just laid in his crib with his eyes wide open then would arch his back and scream and go unconscious. Now he has seizures.
Behavior changes	She won't eat or sleep. She throws herself down and screams for no reason. She was sweet and happy and is now out of control. She changed into a totally different child.
Mental/physical regression	My 18-month-old son stopped talking and walking after those shots. He developed severe allergies, constant diarrhea, ear infections and was sick all the time.

Other reported vaccine reactions include: loss of muscle control, paralysis, regressive autism, asthma, arthritis, blood disorders, diabetes, Guillian Barre syndrome, sudden death.

Call a doctor immediately or go to an emergency room if symptoms of serious vaccine reaction complications or dramatic changes in physical, mental, or emotional behavior occur after vaccination.
