Woman Says Flu Shot Triggered Rare Disorder
http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/stor...2345&catid=158 14 Oct 2009 ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) -- Many of you have been lining up to get the seasonal flu shot. But there is one Ashburn woman who wants you to hear her story before you do. Desiree Jennings is trapped in her body. Intellectually she's all there, but her muscles are fighting each other. She's been diagnosed with dystonia, an extremely rare and debilitating neurological disease. She says after taking the seasonal flu shot she witnessed her body's rapid decline. She doesn't know what else it could be but she has serious questions about the seasonal flu shot. The Centers for Disease Control cannot comment on her case. Desiree was a healthy 25-year-old up until two months ago, working at AOL and as a Redskins cheerleading ambassador. But her world has now been turned upside down. Desiree has trouble talking and speaks in a staccato rhythm. She says, "It's a battle every day because when I wake up I think it's going to be normal, but then I'm quickly reminded that's not going to be the case." She says 10 days after getting a seasonal flu shot at a Reston grocery store in August, and on her second wedding anniversary, she got sick. First, she came down with flu like symptoms, then convulsions and blacking out. She's seen more than 60 doctors. She says all of them were stumped until Johns Hopkins diagnosed her with dystonia. She believes her seasonal flu shot triggered it. Desiree says, "Nothing else explains such a fast moving neurological damage. The medical hospitals ruled out everything, CAT scans normal, blood normal, MRI normal. The only thing that explains it is the shot caused the neurologic damage." She says it is a strange disorder where muscles work against each other. She can't walk forward, only backwards. She can run, but she can't stop without help. She can whisper but has difficulty speaking. Noises can cause convulsions. Her resting heart rate is 90. When she runs her blood pressure dips to 58. She gets exhausted walking a few steps but she could run for hours. Drugs such as valium and klonopin that make other people sleepy give her energy for hours. Simple exercises become nearly impossible. Desiree's husband, Brendan, says, "It gets worse everyday. It's heartbreaking to see." Desiree says the disease is irreversible. Once she loses an ability it doesn't come back. She says there are only three ways you can get dystonia as an adult and they include head trauma, drug use, and poisoning. She says she has not experienced any of that. There is no cure. One in a million are diagnosed with the disease. She says she just wants healthy people to talk to their doctors and weigh the risk. While the Centers for Disease Control cannot comment directly on this case, they say they have no knowledge of a link between the seasonal flu shot and dystonia.

Woman Says Flu Shot Triggered Rare Disorder http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/stor...2345&catid=158 14 Oct 2009 http://www.gavialliance.org/media_ce...entavalent.php quote 18 million Indian children to receive life-saving five-in-one vaccine One of the millions of Indian children set to benefit from the pentavalent vaccine. Copyright: UNICEF/2005/Pallava Bagla US$165 million grant from GAVI will kick off massive introduction of new vaccine. Geneva, 11 August 2009 –More than 18 million children in India will be immunised with a pentavalent five-in-one vaccine thanks to funding worth US$ 165 million from the GAVI Alliance, a public-private partnership which brings together all key players in immunisation including the Indian government, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, donors, industry and the Hib Initiative. A decision by the GAVI Alliance’s Executive Committee in Geneva announced today paves the way for the introduction of the combination vaccine in India, where some 27 million children are born each year. This is the first phase of a national roll-out which will start in 10 states. The decision to approve the funding was communicated to Indian Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad by GAVI Alliance Deputy CEO Helen Evans on Monday 10 August. Ninety percent of world's poorest children “India’s important and far-sighted decision to introduce the pentavalent vaccine will bring the country and the world significantly closer to achieving Millennium Development Goal 4" GAVI CEO, Dr. Julian Lob-Levyt The pentavalent vaccine protects against five potential killers -- diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (often known as Hib) which causes some severe forms of pneumonia and meningitis. Children need to be vaccinated three times before they can be considered fully immunised. While children in all countries are routinely immmunised against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and increasingly hepatitis B, the introduction of this pentavalent vaccine in India, will mean that now more than 90% of the world’s poorest children will be vaccinated against Hib. Globally, Hib kills more than 370,000 children under five every year; nearly 20% of these children die in India. Survivors are often permanently paralyzed, deafened or brain damaged. Routine introduction of Hib vaccine has been proven to prevent the majority of severe bacterial meningitis and up to one third of life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, the leading infectious cause of death in children worldwide. Critical step “The introduction of the pentavalent vaccine in India is a critical step in our government’s efforts to protect all Indian children from deadly diseases,” said India’s Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. “We are glad to be working with the GAVI Alliance to turn this long-held vision into a reality for millions of families. I am extremely thankful to GAVI for assistance given for pentavalent vaccine.” “India’s important and far-sighted decision to introduce the pentavalent vaccine will bring the country and the world significantly closer to achieving Millennium Development Goal 4, which aims to reduce child mortality by two-thirds by 2015,” said Dr. Julian Lob-Levyt. “With such a significant number of pneumonia deaths occurring in India, we are pleased to see India recognising the importance of adding protection against Hib while continuing to work on strengthening routine immunisation." One of largest-ever GAVI grants In one of its largest-ever single grants, GAVI will fund the first two years of pentavalent vaccine introduction in India. In the first year, the pentavalent vaccine will reach more than 10 million children in 10 states -- about 40 percent of India’s total number of babies born each year. By funding the introduction of the pentavalent vaccine, GAVI will equip India to expand its use in the rest of the country. Pneumonia control strategy “Introduction of Hib vaccine in India will save thousands of children’s lives,” said Panna Choudhury, President of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics. “Routine use of Hib vaccine is an essential piece of a comprehensive pneumonia control strategy to reduce the disease's terrible burden on children.” "No child should die or suffer from this preventable disease,” said Dr. Mathuram Santosham, executive committee member of the Hib Initiative at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Hib vaccine is a safe, effective intervention that has been used for more than nearly 20 years in developed countries. Where used routinely in countries such as Kenya, Uganda and the Gambia, it has been proven to virtually eliminate Hib disease.” Pentavalent vaccine is now available from Indian suppliers and is expected to be used both in children in India and around the world. With increasing demand, this indigenous supply will play an important role in saving children’s lives. The GAVI Alliance The GAVI Alliance is a Geneva-based public-private partnership aimed at improving health in the world’s poorest countries. The Alliance brings together developing country and donor governments, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank, the vaccine industry in both industrialised and developing countries, research and technical agencies, NGOs, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other private philanthropists. GAVI support consists of providing life-saving vaccines and strengthening health systems. Since 2000, 213 million children have been vaccinated and 3.4 million premature deaths averted thanks to GAVI-funded programmes.

The Hib Initiative is supported by a 4-year grant from the GAVI Alliance. The Hib vaccine is being used or will soon be used in at least 62 developing countries eligible for support from the GAVI Alliance.
