"Every 2 Hours, Another Child Suffers a Seizure from the MMR Vaccine" - Update from PIC - 11/05/21

 From:

Physicians for Informed Consent


Every 2 hours another child suffers a seizure from the MMR vaccine

Dear Members and Friends,

We’re reaching out to you today in recognition of National Epilepsy Awareness Month (NEAM), November 2021. Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) recognizes this national month of awareness by providing information to families, organizations, and the public about the prevalence of seizures from the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

Seizures from the MMR vaccine occur in about 1 in 640 children within two weeks of receiving the first dose of the MMR vaccine, amounting to approximately 5,700 cases of MMR-vaccine seizures annually in the U.S. A significant portion of MMR-vaccine seizures may cause permanent harm, as 5% of febrile seizures may result in epilepsy. Consequently, about 300 MMR-vaccine seizures (5% of 5,700) may lead to epilepsy annually.

More information on these findings, including details on the supporting studies as well as educational resources, can be found at physiciansforinformedconsent.org/mmr-seizures.

We invite you to share educational resources with your family, friends and physicians. With knowledge, there’s power to make informed decisions!


With kind regards,

The PIC Volunteers
