Immunization Side Effects

* This post is translation from spanish  to english

As many of the citizens that we are going through this winter, I belong to that group of risk, for which vaccination against influenza is recommended. This group includes pregnant women, people who live or care for children younger, teachers, staff of the medical emergency services and care, individuals with lung or heart diseases patients with HIV, children and older 65 years across a wide range of people, including my educational task I was included. For this reason; I took the wise decision to apply subsequent prick in my left arm.

With some ingenuity and a little joy, I cedí my arm to the stinging needle. I assumed that any vaccine is capable of generating an improvement in the health and well-being of the population. But nobody I warned about possible side effects. Vaccination campaign seemed encouraging and highly beneficial effects.

A slight doubt motivated me to ask about the desirability of this application. So I I communicated with the Ministry of health, asking for some information. Responsible for resolving all issues on influenza, encouraged me confirm my decision. With an unusual optimism, they showed that my decision was correct. They argued that in only twenty days immunity would be complete. The vaccine is made with dead virus and there is no possibility of getting the flu with this vaccine.

At first I felt a pain of liver that persisted for a few hours. I assumed that it was the meal or some minimum digestive problems. But over time I felt a number of persistent chills that led me to the bed. Of sleep a short NAP, which did not last more than half an hour, but found me, I woke up with some pain. Then, I felt strong pressure on the left shoulder, which stretched into the hand. Apparently the nodes were altered, to a strange infection. I started feeling a tingling series in the joints, which later alternated with some pain. This persistent damage was extended to all joints, which seemed to inflame nonsense. Dizzy and baffled, I felt that fever I rammed with all its fury. Then I decided to take the thermometer in my hands and measure my body temperature. I assumed it was a common flu and that soon it cedería. But more than thirty temperature degrees centigrade lasted for three days. Then I decided to call the doctor.

When Bolivian girl came to my home, I commented my suffering. While I was reviewing, I asked him about the possible side effects of the vaccine. Whereupon replied me that it had all the symptoms of influenza a. Continuó expressing it was already used to seeing this picture, people who had been vaccinated. Then, my spirit relieved to understand what was happening. This virus hybrid that attacks both to birds, such as pigs and humans, was the cause of my suffering. But had been myself in my terrible ignorance had inoculated me him. When the doctor played the nodes under my throat, I discovered that they were noticeably swollen. “Has positive nodes”, said me the doctor.
