For more information:
Try calling Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting- this is a 24hr service for
reporting vaccine related problems. 1-800-822-7967.
Also you might want to call the CENTER FOR BIOLOGICS EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT
301-594-1800 this might give you information on whether or not this has
happened before.
Also FREEDOM OF INFORMATION- FDA documents 301-443-6310. This might be the
place to find out what adverse effects have been recorded.
Good luck.
