Abstract
The significance of regular childhood vaccinations is
universally accepted. However these vaccinations were reported
to potentially have a long list of complications. This list includes
disorders such as autism (measles vaccine), multiple sclerosis
(hepatitis B vaccine) meningo encephalitis (Japanese encephalitis
vaccine), Guillaine-Barre and giant cell arteritis (influenza vaccine),
and more. Seizures and hypotonic/hypo responsive episodes
following pertussis vaccination [1]. On the other side, public
tolerance to adverse reactions is minimal. In the past, adverse
reactions to vaccination drew significant public attention. A unique
example to the problematic situation of such adverse events is
the pertussis vaccine, which was along many years and still is a
subject for many legal suits. Handicapped patients claimed that
their medical difficulties, especially in the neurological field, are the
result of the immunization, and thus they claim for an appropriate
compensation. There were several phases in this process. Phase I
may be represented by the article of Aicardi &Chevrie [2].
