But what do
these listed adverse reactions mean?
Because many
people have no idea what all these terms are actually saying.
Guillain-Barré
Syndrome: A disorder
in which your body’s immune system attacks your nerve system. This may eventually paralyze your whole body.
Acute
Disseminated Encephalomyelitis: An inflammation that
affects the brain and spinal cord, usually in children. It damages the coating that protects nerve
fibers, called myelin. Symptoms may be
severe.
Transverse
Myelitis: An inflammation of both
sides of one section of the spinal cord. This neurological disorder
often damages the insulating material covering nerve cell fibers (myelin). Transverse myelitis interrupts the messages
that the spinal cord nerves send throughout the body.
Encephalitis: An inflammation of the brain.
Myelitis: An inflammation of the spinal cord which can
disrupt the normal responses from the brain to the rest of the body, and from
the rest of the body to the brain.
Meningitis: An inflammation of the meninges. The meninges are the three membranes that
cover the brain and spinal cord.
Encephalopathy: A damage or disease that affects the brain. It happens when there’s been a change in the
way your brain works or a change in your body that affects your brain. Those changes lead to an altered mental state.
Convulsions/Seizures: Seizures cause rapid, rhythmic and sometimes
violent shaking movements of the body, often with loss of consciousness.
Stroke: A stroke is a sudden interruption in the blood
supply of the brain. Most strokes are
caused by an abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the
brain. Other strokes are caused by bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts.
Narcolepsy: A sleep disorder
characterized by excessive
sleepiness, sleep paralysis and
hallucinations.
Cataplexy: A sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone. The condition is often associated with
narcolepsy.
Anaphylaxis: A serious, life-threatening, allergic reaction.
Acute
Myocardial Infarction: A heart attack. Occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is
abruptly cut off, causing tissue damage.
Myocarditis: An inflammation of the heart muscle. Symptoms can include shortness of breath,
chest pain, decreased ability to exercise and an irregular heartbeat.
Pericarditis: An inflammation of the pericardium (the fibrous
sac surrounding the heart). Symptoms
typically include sudden onset of sharp chest pain, which may also be felt in
the shoulders, neck or back.
Autoimmune
Disease: A condition in which
your immune system attacks your body because a drug or vaccine that was
received contains human cells foreign to your own.
Pregnancy
and Birth Outcomes: Preterm delivery
(premature birth), growth restriction, low birth weight, stillbirth (dead baby)
and long-term chronic diseases.
Acute
Demyelinating Diseases: Any condition that
results in damage to the protective covering (myelin sheath) that surrounds
nerve fibers in your brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. This includes multiple sclerosis (when your
immune system attacks the myelin sheath or the cells that produce and maintain
it), optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve in one or both eyes) and
adrenoleukodystrophy/
Non-Anaphylactic
Allergic Reactions: Failure of an organ
system.
Thrombocytopenia: A condition in which you have a low blood
platelet count.
Disseminated
Intravascular Coagulation: A condition in which
blood clots form throughout the body, blocking small blood vessels.
Venous
Thromboembolism: A condition in which a
blood clot forms most often in the deep veins of the leg, groin or arm and
travels in the circulation, lodging in the lungs.
Arthritis
and Arthralgia: Joint pain.
Kawasaki
Disease: An illness that causes
inflammation in arteries, veins and capillaries. It also affects your lymph nodes and causes
symptoms in your nose, mouth and throat. It’s the most common cause of heart disease in
children.
Multisystem
Inflammatory Syndrome: A condition where
different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys,
brain, skin, eyes and gastrointestinal organs. Children who suffer from this condition may
have a fever and various symptoms, including abdominal (gut) pain, vomiting, diarrhea,
neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes and feeling extra tired.
Vaccine
Enhanced Disease: When the disease that
you have is worsened by the vaccine that is supposed to
protect you.
