One of the children given the vaccine by mistake and WITHOUT parental
approval was special needs, she had epilepsy and wound up in the hospital.
Several doctors are concerned that people with neurological disorders shouldn't
take the vaccine so this parent was right to consult her child's
specialist. This is why in my opinion families need to have the power to make
medical decisions and not government agents. Yes they had a system set up but
several students fell through. Big bureaucracies are lousy at this. But
boy do they work hard to cover their mistakes. Why don't they do this by
having the families bring the children if they want the vaccine? Yeah they
are concerned they will get less compliance but it would be less chance for
this kind of mistake.

Troy was waiting for advice from her family doctor on whether Nikiyah
should get the shot since she takes medicine to control her epilepsy.

The error was compounded when the nurse didn't check Nikiyah's name before
sticking her in the shoulder, the mother said.

After the mistake was discovered, officials summoned Troy to the school,
she said.
Troy said the nurse - a Department of Health employee - tried to get her to
sign a consent form, after the fact.
"I was insulted. I was really angry. 'You just incriminated yourself even
more,'" Troy recalled thinking.
