GlaxoSmithKline says it. It is the manufacturer of the vaccine. On the insert that comes with the vaccine, the following warning appears:
"Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has occurred in infants following administration of DTaP vaccine. By chance alone, some cases of SIDS can be expected to follow receipt of PEDIACEL."
Moreover, they tell us elsewhere:
Who should NOT take this medication?
Your child should not receive this medication if they:
- are allergic to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliovirus, or Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines, or any ingredients of this medication
- are allergic to neomycin, or polymyxin
- have previously had encephalopathy (abnormal brain function) within 7 days of receiving a pertussis-containing vaccine
