Five teenagers developed a serious neurological disorder within two to

four weeks after receiving the vaccine Menactra, which prevents a

severe and deadly form of meningitis, the Food and Drug Administration

reported yesterday.

 

 

All have recovered or are recovering from the illness, Guillain-Barré

syndrome, which causes weakness in the arms and legs and can spread to

the chest and impair breathing. The drug agency said in a news

release, " It is not yet known whether these cases were caused by the

vaccine or are coincidental. "

 

 

In the meantime, parents should continue to vaccinate their children,

said Dr. Karen Midthun, deputy director of the drug agency's Center

for Biologics Evaluation.

 

 

[Yeah, right. Personally, this would be a serious impediment in my

choosing to vaccinate my kids with this particular vaccine.]
