The introduction of HPV vaccine may have adversely affected the uptake of
Hepatitis B vaccine, given concurrently in the school program.

We have begun to see such a trend quite clearly in India following deaths
from Pentavalent vaccine. The number of fully immunized children in Tamil
Nadu (which formerly had 89% coverage with basic vaccines) has fallen by
25% between 2007-8 and 2012-3 according to the *District Level Household
Survey* – DLHS 4: 2012-13 (https://nrhm-mis.nic.in/SitePages/DLHS-4.aspx )
The WHO promotes a combination vaccine called the Pentavalent Vaccine
which combines DPT vaccine with Hepatitis B and Hib vaccines in developing
countries. The combination is prone to cause deaths sporadically somewhat
like anaphylactic deaths. We know that about 1 in 10,000 given the vaccine
develops serious or fatal adverse events following immunization (AEFI).
This is data from states with good surveillance of AEFI, obtained under the
Right to Information (
http://www.downtoearth.org.in/content/are-some-states-under-reporting-pentavalent-vaccine-deaths).
This has been happening in many countries using the vaccine. (‘Global
Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety review of pentavalent safety concerns
in four Asian countries’
http://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/committee/topics/hpv/GACVSstatement_pentavalent_June2013.pdf
). Thorough investigation of all these deaths has not yielded an alternate
explanation for the events. The WHO and CIOMS have had to change the
Brighton classification and the way these reactions are classified (rather
than admit that the reactions are 'probably causally related to the
vaccination').
Please see the PubMed-Commons responses to this change in the Brighton
classification but you will notice the authors have maintained a studied
silence perhaps confident that this too with blow over (
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24021304 ). We don’t dare speak up for
fear we will be labeled anti-vaccine.
Public faith in vaccines is eroded and real long term harm will be
inflicted on all public health initiatives if we seen as not-trustworthy
and we are not open and transparent regarding these adverse events.
