RE: October is Vaccine Injury Awareness Month. A story for each day of the month. Installments 1 through 7.
Wow....that's a month full of action...what are the national statistics like? this is quite alarming, what labs are these vaccines originating from? the company behind them? the demographics affected? We have the HPV vaccine drive happening in the Caribbean now, so I certainly look into it but data gathering is so poor, that you would never really get the story unless you personally know the patient...once again thanks for sharing the story and bringing the awareness
Unfortunately we do not know what the national statistics are. There is the VAERS.gov system- national adverse event reporting system- to report injuries however it is well accepted that only 1 to 10% of adverse events will ever be reported. In a country such as ours, we should have better data on this. Of course, that would also require physicians to be open about what they are seeing.
