ALERT OVER NEW 5-IN-1 BABY JABS

EXCLUSIVE By Lucy Johnston

HEALTH EDITOR

Brain damage fears after trial results show that two-thirds of
patients
experience bad reaction

Babys given the new five-in-one jab face a risk of convulsions, brain
damage
or even death.

Results of medical trials by the firm which makes the vaccine have
revealed
that the 'superdose' vaccination, which was introduced 18 months ago,
can
have serious side-effects.

The five-in-one is designed to protect children against diphtheria,
tetanus,
whooping cough, Hib influenza and polio in a single shot.

Evidence from the vaccine's manufacturers, Sanofi Pasteur, shows that
in
clinical trials 64 per cent of 451 babies given the Pediacel jab
experienced
bad reactions. Ten per cent of these were 'moderate to severe'.

These included convulsions, loss of consciousness and high-pitched or
persistent inconsolable crying.

Other studies showed that components of the vaccine can cause
breathing
difficulties, blue discolouration of the skin due to lack of oxygen,
swelling of the brain, low blood pressure and extreme allergic shock.

The document prepared for the Medicines Healthcare Regulatory
Authority
and
publicised by What Doctors Don't Tell You, a monthly newsletter that
questions conventional medicine, has angered doctors and MPs.
Professor
Steve Webb, Liberal Democrat health spokesman, criticised the
Government
saying: 'I am very concerned that these apparently wide spread
side-effects
have not been disclosed. The Government should investigate these
concerns
urgently'.

Dr Richard Halvorsen, a London GP who specialises in innoculations
said:
'I'm concerned that this five-in-one is overloading a child's immune
system.

'The risks of vaccinations have been played down by the Government
and
parents have been fobbed off with bland reassurances'.

And Dr Peter Mansfield, who won a case against the doctor's governing
body,
the General Medical Council, for refusing to give the combined
controversial
measles, mumps and rubella to infants, said: 'This is scandalous.
We're
vaccinating babies when their immune systems are not ready'.

Jackie Fletcher from the vaccine damage support group JABS, is also
concerned. She said: 'The Department of Health is failing to
acknowledge
the
dangers of the vaccines and the damage they can cause. It claims the
five-in-one is perfectly safe, but clearly it is not.

'The only person taking a risk here is the baby and parents are not
being
given correct information about it'.

Health officials claim it is safer than the four-in-one-jab it
replaced
which contained the controversial preservative mercury, which has
been
linked with autism. The new jab is also deemed to be safer because it
contains inactivated polio to remove the risk that children could
contract
polio paralysis from the old oral vaccine that contained a live
sample of
the virus.

However, the revelations will ignite debate about the over-use of
innoculations and could hinder Government plans to bring in an even
more
intensive vaccination programme that will see children receiving 25
vaccines
in 12 injections by the time they are two.

The new proposed schedule contains the controversial MMR jab, the
five-in-one jab, a new pneumococcal vaccine and the meningitis C
vaccine.

When the five-in-one was launched the Government vaccine chief urged
parents: ' Please do not delay having your child vaccinated. Our
vaccines
are extremely safe.'

Nicholas Kitchin, medical director of Sanofi Pasteur, insisted:
'There are
fewer side-effects with the five-in-one than were reported with the
older
four-in-one vaccine.

'All drugs and vaccines have potential side-effects, which parents
should
be
aware of and these are listed in the information leaflet included
with
every
dose of the vaccine. Severe reactions are rare and the benefits of
vaccination far outweigh the risks.'

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health added: 'The Joint
Committee on
Vaccination and Immunisation thoroughly assesses the evidence on the
safety
and efficacy of all new vaccines before they are added to the
childhood
immunisation programme. Pediacel has an excellent record.

'Every parent is informed about the potential side effects of every
vaccine
in a guide which is given to parents by health visitors.'

OPINION

Health chiefs must act now on five-in-one vaccine fears

The Government must move fast to prove that its new super-drug is
completely
safe for British babies. The five-in-one vaccination, introduced 18
months
ago, was claimed to be a major breakthrough in the fight against
childhood
killer diseases. The drug, which is intended to provide protection
against
polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and meningitis, is given
to
babies as young as two months and was claimed to be risk-free.

But evidence collected by the drug's manufacturer tells a different
story.

The Sunday Express has revealed that the maker's clinical trials
showed
that
nearly two out of three infants given an injection of its super jab
experienced significant side effects.

The trials, when linked with other data, revealed a danger that
children
could suffer convulsions and even run the risk of brain damage.

This is devastating news for parents. Some health campaigners warn
that
the
combination of five powerful vaccines adminstered in this way
overwhelms a
baby's immune system.

It is vital that the Department of Health intervenes now to restore
public
confidence. Every parent knows that no threat to a baby's health is
ever
tolerable.
