Yes Jo, it is important this is reported. It is so
easy to get caught up with other things on a busy unit, and it gets
forgotten.
Thanks,
Nicole.

Hi All,
Have just had a scary experience when a baby
became floppy and stopped breathing three times after the Hep B
vaccine. She is ok, but being observed for 24 hours in special care. It just
reinforces my belief that giving all babies Hep B prior to discharge from
hospital is unnecessary, and where there are no risk factors present, more
dangerous than not giving it.
Nicole Carver. Hi Nicole
- just make sure you document that in the adverse vaccination reaction section
at the bottom of the vaccination card for the baby... Is there something to
fill in for pharmacy, too? I am sure there is a lot of paperwork to fill
out for that kind of thing. Just to make sure it gets into the stats for
the 'safety of Hep B vax'.
Scary.
