Doctors told the young girl's mother they won’t know if her daughter’s vision loss is permanent for 6 months.
The four-year-old spent more than two weeks in the hospital, her mom said, and developed a disease called encephalopathy, a swelling of the brain that caused her to lose her vision.
This encephalopathy complication is not just relatively rare, it’s very, very rare; .21 per million is about 1 in 5 million.Phillips said she got her daughter vaccinated last March, and hoped that would work for the current season, but doctors say it's crucial to get the vaccine in the fall before each season., the Center for Disease Control said Friday.
