New ‘overload’ fears as swine flu jab is added to routine childhood vaccines

Jab: The Government has said that all vaccinations can be given with the swine
flu vaccine
The swine flu vaccine will be given to children at the same time as routine jabs
– despite the fact there is no evidence the combination is safe.
There are fears that children will be at risk of unknown side effects because
safety trials into using the jabs together have yet to be carried out.
The plan has also added to concerns about ‘overloading’ young immune systems
with multiple inoculations.
Government experts have ruled that all vaccinations – including those against
measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis C, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio, Hib
disease and pneumococcal infection – can be given with the swine flu vaccine to
children over six months old.
The Government’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) decided
that because the swine flu vaccine does not contain a ‘live’ virus, it can
safely be given with other jabs.
The first wave of a national vaccination scheme against swine flu is set to
begin next week, with children who have underlying health problems such as
asthma and diabetes among the first to be treated.
The JCVI ruling means these ‘high-risk’ youngsters who are also due for
routine jabs could now receive them along with their swine flu vaccine.
Campaigners have already voiced concerns that the recommended programme of more
than 20 inoculations, including two doses of the MMR injection, by the age of
four puts too much strain on children’s immune systems.
GP Dr Richard Halvorsen, medical director of the Babyjabs clinic in Central
London, said last night: ‘There is not a shred of evidence about the potential
effects of combining all these childhood jabs with the swine flu vaccine. They
simply have not had time to carry out tests.’
The swine flu vaccine has been fast-tracked through normal licensing procedures
and the first volunteer children in a UK study received their shots last week.
Neurologists have been warned by the Health Protection Agency to look out for
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) – where paralysis of the breathing muscles can
cause death by suffocation.
A mass vaccination programme against swine flu in the US in 1976 saw hundreds of
GBS cases and 25 deaths, although a direct link to the vaccine, which is
different from the current jab, was never proved.
Jackie Fletcher, of the campaign group Justice Awareness and Basic Support,
believes the move to combine vaccines is ‘reckless’.
She said: ‘If there is a bad reaction for a child, how will doctors be able to
identify which vaccine component is to blame?’
At a meeting in August, the JCVI stated that giving the swine flu jab with other
vaccines is safe because it contains a ‘dead’ virus.
But it advised that the flu injection be given in a different limb from other
jabs to minimise localised reactions such as swelling.
The Department of Health said last night: ‘It is irresponsible to suggest the UK
would use a vaccine without careful consideration of safety issues.
‘The swine flu vaccine will not interfere with other vaccines, whether they are
administered at the same time or not. Vaccines would not be licensed if they
were considered unsafe – they go through a rigorous licensing process and are
carefully assessed for safety.’
