Hospitalized premature infants who received recommended two-month vaccinations had an increased risk of a short episode of apnea, but no serious complications arose, according to a study.

The study confirms previous findings linking apnea, which is a pause in breathing, to vaccinations among premature babies. The potential side effect had been observed in some previous studies and is among those already identified on package inserts for several childhood vaccines. This new study confirms the risk of apnea in the 48 hours following vaccination for hospitalized premature infants.

Greenberg noted that hospitalized premature infants have weak immune systems that make them more vulnerable to illnesses, and they have pre-existing conditions that complicate their care when they become sick. As a result, preterm babies have higher rates of severe illness due to illnesses such as pertussis and pneumonia than term infants.

Greenberg and colleagues enrolled 223 hospitalized premature infants who were born before 33 weeks gestation. At two months of age, roughly half the babies were randomly assigned to receive the first recommended dose of childhood vaccines that protect against pneumonia, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio and meningitis. The remaining babies did not receive vaccines for two days, after which they were allowed to receive vaccines as part of routine care.

All the infants were observed for apnea for 48 hours after vaccination or randomization for the unvaccinated group. The infants who received the vaccines were more likely to have an apnea episode in the monitoring period than the unvaccinated babies. The odds of having an episode of apnea were 2.7 times higher in the vaccinated group during the 48-hour monitoring period.

Apnea episodes were brief, lasting an average of 28 seconds in the vaccination group and 32 seconds in the unvaccinated group.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Vaccines increase sleep apnea 2.7X in premies for at least 48 hours.

The idea that a two month old baby in the US will be exposed to tetanus or Hep B is absolutely crazy, IMHO. I wouldn’t have my kid take those then.

This seems a possible factor in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also IMHO.
