Symptom narrative

Within 24 hours of receiving multiple vaccines (DTaP ? 1st dose, Pneumococcal ? 2nd dose, different product than prior), my child developed a severe adverse reaction. It began with an extremely bad rash at the vaccine site that quickly spread over his entire body. He developed a very high fever of 104?105°F and became so sick he could barely function ? lethargic, weak, and unable to engage in normal activity. I contacted his clinic immediately and provided photos. Nurses and staff expressed alarm, stating they had ?never seen anything like this,? and instructed me to monitor him closely at home. The reaction was severe enough to leave a permanent scar at the injection site, still visible one year later.
