My son didn'y die anywhere around the date of his hots, actually he was due for his second shots when he died, hope that can be some help.

I know we are all searching for answers. My son had received his last shots over three weeks prior. I'm sorry this probably doesn't help you.

Leo was only 5 weeks old & had yet to receive any shots.

I have real doubts about giving my new baby any shots at all. I do believe there may be a link. Owen had his shots about 2 weeks before he died. DAMMIT, did I make this happen by giving him his innoculations?????

Nathan was 2 weeks away from getting his 2nd. So I don't think that that's it. Tons of babies get their shots and they are ok, we can't blame ourselves

i hope that i didn't stir up feeling that you have had anything to do with getting them the shots...first of all the are required to have them..not much choice in that, can't put them in daycare without them either. i find that i am still looking for a reason and i know that there isn't but when i heard that someone had the same experience i thought i would like to know if there were more... i hope that one day i can let these feelings go that i believe that babies just die...i am blamed for it and i am tourched by the looks that i still get from them.. they wouldn't let me be part of her services. so after they left and before the cementary men could bury her i motioned for them to come down. i told them that i wasn't allowed to be part of her service and could i bury her. they put her in the grave and handed me a shovle and i buried her. in a way i have to look at it as i got the last moment with her. please don't let my question make your hearts hurt again...a loving friend...jaime

hey My son Joshua died the NEXT day after shots...unkn if it was related or not....and as for Jme5 you do not HAVE to get shots...I have talked with my daughter and sons pedi. and expressed that I would always wonder IF the shots had anything to do with Josh's death and IF we had another child or my daughter for that matter I would have a HARD time with them taking shots after what happened to Josh....My kids pedi said that I didn't HAVE to have the shots that he could give me a paper for school that says we are exempt for religious reasons or something like that.......

good to know about a dr. being able to help avoiding them. my oldest daughter had a bad reaction to the mumps shot. we had a 50-50 chance of her living through the night. now all the dr.s know about that one and won't give them to her children and i will tell the others that the dr.s can do that. thanks for the info....jaime

My baby boy passed within 72 hours of recieving his vaccines. Do some research on the DPT vaccine, you will be shocked at what you see. I know I am. I have spoken with a lawyer, and we are waiting for the autopsy report to see if we have a case. The DPT vaccine kills about 900 infants per year in the U.S. that is not including the ones who go undetermined or who are mis-diagnosed as SIDS, which is more common than most may think. They say that 5% of infants who pass of SIDS have a rare gene found in them that causes SIDS. What about the other 95%? I would research it, that is what I have been doing. I hope this helps, I most definately will not get any of my children in the future vaccinated.

Jaenelle had gotten her 4 month shots on april 17 and passed away on may 6th, I don't believe it had anything to do with her vaccines.

and you are lucky, because in michigan they are NO LONGER allowed exception from any vaccines, this includes teenage girls having the gardasil vaccine. Although with all the outbreaks of everything the risk of getting the vaccine usually far outweighs the risk of not getting it.

AJ was only 4 days old and only had the hep. shot so I don't think shots have much to do with it.

My medical examiner asked me about Alyssa's last shots, it was 9 days earlier. He said he knows of many babies that die within days of having their regular shots. I hadn't even thought about it but I know there is a lot of studies into whether or not infant deaths are caused by shots. I know for a FACT that my next baby will not be getting the shots. I will have the form filled out for religious reasons and that will be that.

Tristan hadn't received his first shots yet. Since he was a premmie they don't give shots untill they are the gestational age they should have been if they are carried to full term

i did talk to my peditrician about this. what he said made sense. he said that babies get so many shots in hte first 6 mos. that it is always right around when they get there shots. they get shots like every month, sometimes more. i am not down playing the possablity but it does make sense.
