Childhood Vaccine Injury - 19 year old Christopher Kalevi Kanervisto got Influenza H1N1 Vaccine (Swine Flu) and died in his sleep 1 month later

DR. WILLIAM MAKIS MD

“Christopher had always been healthy; if he got a bug it was usually gone within a day or two. He was very active in sports. His doctor visits were mainly well check ups and no issues had ever come up. He had his childhood vaccines. They were delayed but he did receive them, but he never had a flu vaccine.

We had discussed the regular flu vaccine and 2009 H1N1 vaccine. He wanted my opinion, I told him to not worry about the regular flu vaccine since he had never had a problem with cold or flu bugs.

We were both unsure about the H1N1 vaccine. He was right in the age group that was most susceptible: college student, campus living and around a lot of people. I left it up to him.

When Do We Rational About Vaccines?
