What is a Hepatitis B related Vaccine?

Hepatitis B vaccines immunize against the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) which infects and inflames the liver, causes, vomiting, jaundice and rarely death (chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer). Several vaccines, which rely on the use of one of the viral envelope proteins (hepatitis B surface antigen or HBsAg), prevent hepatitis B virus infection. While following vaccination Hepatitis B Surface antigen may be detected in serum for several days (known as vaccine antigenaemia) severe side-effects have been reported including permanent brain injury and even death in certain cases. These reactions, and side-effects include, serious allergic reaction ("anaphylaxis" or "anaphylactic shock"); prolonged seizures, swelling of the brain, or even death. It has also been claimed that due to the reduced risk of contraction of hepatitis B, absent categorically dangerous intravenous practices, the benefits of mandated vaccinations do not outweigh the risks posed to each child who receives the vaccination.

It has been reported that symptoms of brain injury occurred within four hours of vaccination, such side effects could be the cause of neurological damage, and can continue for the rest of a vaccine victim's life, and even cause death through complications due to:

• Anaphylaxis or Anaphylactic shock (serious allergic reaction, within four hours): Cyanosis, Hypotension, Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Arrhythmia, Edema with/without Stridor and Dyspnea, Acute Emphysema, or Eosinophilic liver, spleen and lungs.
  
• Acute complications or sequella, including death (illnesses, disabilities, or injuries associated with adverse reactions or side effects from Hepatitis B Vaccines).
