 Subject: Aticle on the effects of Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus ( DPT)
 shots
 
 The The Washington Post published an article on the effects of Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus  ( DPT) shots in their Sunday, Aug. 30, 1998 issue.

 They have been kind enough to leave this article in a permanent archive,
so that chiropractors can share this with parents who are considering this shot for their children.

 The first paragraph is:"Did the DPT vaccine make some children
 catastrophically sick? The question is at the core of the majority of cases before a special federal vaccine court -- and the rules for answering it have changed."

 It is most important that parents fully understand the risks associated
 with this vaccine:  1 in 100 DPT shots will provoke prolonged crying or
 high fever in an infant; 1 in 1,700 will cause a brief seizure or state of
 shock. And with 1 in every 300,000 shots, children died within a few days
 of a DPT shot, or suffered recurring seizures that brought on retardation
 or other chronic brain damage.
