My son was a healthy, normally developing child with no prior medical issues, seizures, or neurological concerns. He was born full-term without complications, and reached all developmental milestones early ? standing at 7 months, walking at 10 months, and talking before his first birthday. He had never experienced any high fever, infection, or unusual symptoms. On 02/11/2025, he received routine childhood vaccinations, including DTaP, Polio, Hep B, HIB, administered by intramuscular injection into his left/right thigh. Within a few hours of receiving the vaccine, while sleeping, he let out a loud, sudden scream and was found by his mother in an active seizure ? involving body shaking and jerking. He had no fever at the time. This was his first-ever seizure. Following this event, he began experiencing recurrent myoclonic seizures, primarily during sleep but occasionally while awake. These included sudden jerks, dropping objects, and body twitches. His pediatrician referred him to a pediatric neurologist. An EEG confirmed abnormal electrical activity consistent with myoclonic epilepsy. An MRI of the brain revealed multifocal white matter abnormalities with gliosis, indicating brain scarring from a prior injury. He was prescribed Levetiracetam (Keppra) for seizure control, which he continues to take daily. Despite treatment, seizures have persisted. There is growing concern from the family that this was a vaccine-induced neurological injury, as the onset of symptoms was immediate and no other cause (genetic, metabolic, infectious, or traumatic) has been identified. His development, although initially advanced, has shown some slowing since the incident.
