[quote=Anonymous]Copied and pasted from http://www.vaccineinformation.org/pertuss/qandavax.asp:

"Who should NOT receive pertussis vaccine?
People who had a serious allergic reaction to a previous dose of DTaP or Tdap vaccine, or who developed encephalopathy (brain injury) not due to another identifiable cause, should not receive another dose.

Certain rare adverse events following pertussis vaccination usually serve as a precaution against receiving further doses. Such events include a temperature of 105°F or higher, collapse or shock-like state, persistent crying for more than three hours, or convulsions within three days. Even if one of these precautions exists, there may be occasions when the benefit of immunization outweighs the risk (for example, during a community-wide outbreak of pertussis). A person who developed one of these adverse events after pediatric DTaP vaccine may receive Tdap as an adolescent or adult.

A person with a recognized, possible, or potential neurologic condition should delay receiving DTaP or Tdap vaccine until the condition is evaluated, treated, and/or stabilized. Although DTaP vaccine does not cause neurological disorders, receiving the vaccine can cause an already-present underlying condition to show itself.

Persons with a moderate or severe illness should postpone receiving the vaccine until they are well."

That last sentence in the second to last paragraph is enough to make me think twice about vaccinating my child.  Just this past week, the Government awarded over a million dollars reward to the Pollings, in response that the vaccines had brought about autistic symptoms in their child, who was later also diagnosed with mitochondrial disease.  Are you planning on having your child screened for mito disease before vaccinating?  How can you be sure that your child wont be the next in line for autism?
