Help! Worried about PCV Prevenar 13 Vaccine

[honeybee93]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give some advice / share their experiences please?

My DD is 15 months and has had all her vaccines apart from her boosters. She developed facial tics and gut problems after her infant vaccines, so we are worried to give her the boosters.

The main worry is the PCV vaccine as it contains aluminium which we think may have triggered her problems. Did anyone not give this vaccine for the same reason? Would we be completely irresponsible not to give this vaccine?

We're probably going to give the single measles vaccine rather than the MMR, and I think the hib/Men C one.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, thank you Sidge. I'll look into it, I think there are only a few clinics still running though as many have shut down over the past few years. I'm glad your daughter is doing well :)

I do appreciate that vaccines are extremely important. I think what rattled me is that I spoke to a woman in the USA who specialises in vaccines and she said that with my daughter's medical history and inflammatory gut problems that she would be more at risk of further vaccine injury. Her suggestion was to wait until 2 years old to have vaccinations, but that is a very long time for a child to be exposed.

I have absolutely no idea which vaccine I had. I just turned up, got injected a few times with various vaccines, and then left. I'm sure either will be suitable!

Ok thanks! I wasn't sure if you said you had the single measles jab or the MMR

I'd be a little wary of the USA woman's advice. That seems a bit odd, and unless you've checked her credentials I wouldn't trust her opinion more than anyone else's. There are quite a few people who claim to be experts in field, somewhat like Food Babe.

Hi there, I found this post so interesting. Are you able to post the direct link to where you found this information. I can’t seem to locate it..
