Workshop on Neurologic Complications of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccination Neuropediatrics 1990 Vol 21 [6pgs] Interesting point stated in this article In evaluating side- reactions to the vaccine the following must be kept in mind:

1 Vaccines are not standardized between manufacturers.

2 For any manufacturer, vaccines are not standard from one batch to the next.

3 Unless the vaccine is properly prepared and refrigerated, it’s potency and reactivity varies with shelf life.

4 in fact, the whole question of vaccine detoxification has never been systematically investigated.

Infectious Episodes Following Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus Vaccination Clinical Pediatrics Oct 1988 [4pgs] 82 infants ,aged 2-12 months, were prospectively studied for infectious episodes following DPT immunization. The occurrence of infectious episodes during the month following vaccination was compared to that during the month prior to its administration. The 3 days following vaccination were not included. In comparison to the month prior to immunization, during the month following there were significantly more infants with fever(6.1%vs.24.4%,p < 0.001),with diarrhea (7.3%vs.23.1,p < 0.005),and with cough (37.7%vs.52.4%p N.S.). After the first month of the study, there was an increase in morbidity in the region ,so we reevaluated those cases who had been seen during the latter 3 months .The same trend was found: in the month following immunization there were significantly more infants with fever(53%vs.25%,p < 0.005),with diarrhea (10.5%vs 28%,p <0.02), and with cough (26% vs. 54%,p <0.01). There was no correlation between the

incidence of these episodes and the age at vaccination. In addition to

reactive fever during the first 3 days following DPT immunization, an increase in infectious episodes seems to occur in infants during the month following administration of this vaccine.
