Anyone who has a health concern after receiving vaccinations can file a report with Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS.) There have been at least 60 reported cases of hair loss occurring after routine vaccines. There may be many other unreported cases; as many persons are not aware of the reporting system (VAERS), or they may not relate the hair loss to the vaccine.
Forty-six of the 60 cases that had been reported from 1983-1995 were associate the Hepatitis B vaccination. Eighty three percent of the complaints involved female patients. In most cases the hair loss occurred within one month after receiving the vaccine. Sixteen of these cases noted severe and extensive hair loss affecting over half the scalp or body hair.
One case involved a 56 year old woman who developed extensive hair loss weeks after receiving the influenza virus vaccine. The same woman had similar but less severe symptoms after a prior influenza virus vaccine the previous year.
A more recent documented case involved the anthrax vaccine administered to military personnel. Sudden and severe hair loss occurred weeks after his fifth dose of the vaccination. Toxicology reports attributed this person's hair loss to the vaccination and suggested that it was not an isolated case.
Zinc gluconate was used successfully to restore this person's hair. Studies indicate that vaccinations may deplete zinc and other minerals, which could explain why zinc supplementation reversed the effects.
Immunizations may be indirectly associated with many other cases of hair loss as vaccines have also been associated with the onset of autoimmune disorders and other disorders in which hair loss is a symptom.
Hair is very sensitive to any changes or disturbances within the body. Even a slight upset to the system can disrupt the hair growth cycle. A vaccination may be viewed by the body as a foreign substance that the body must figure out how deal with. If adjustment does not occur quickly, it is possible that hair loss may result.
Certain people may be more prone to adverse affects of vaccinations. This includes those with compromised immune systems, autoimmune disorders or persons who are ill at the time the vaccination is administered. If any side effects are noticed after receiving an immunization, it should be reported.
