MUM FOUND BABY DEAD IN HER BED Bristol Evening Post, 20/6/02. (Informed Parent 2/2003) A two-month old Bristol baby died unexpectedly, inquest heard. Karla Leigh Chick of Summerhill Road, St George, was found motionless in her bed by her mother Jennifer Allen on July 10 last year. Karla was taken to the Royal Bristol Hospital for Children but staff were unable to revive her. A statement from Karla's mother read out in court said Karla had received a repeat vaccination for Hepatitis B the day before she died. Post-mortem examinations were unable to determine a cause of death. Bristol coroner Paul Forrest recorded an open verdict. He said: "There is no evidence medically or otherwise to establish the circumstances in which this baby came by her death."

It is unfortunate that the following 3 articles were not yet available at the time of the above tragic event. Some of the information is based on SIDS reports to VAERS (The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) from 1990 to 2002 with special attention to the Recombinant Hepatitis B vaccine.
I do not know what the statute of limitation for vaccine injury is in the UK but I suspect (and hope) that it is at least 2 years.
According to a 12-year longitudinal SIDS study from Ireland 10.9% of infants died in the first month of life The majority, 59.4%, died between 2 & 4 months 11.7% of infants died in the first six months 12.9% died over the age of one
The above studies demonstrate a relative increase in SIDS in the first 28 days of life after 1991, the year when neonatal hepatitis b vaccination was recommended in the United States.
