Grieving parents Karl and Christine Laulu lost their babies, Alana-Rae and Jamie Ray, shortly after receiving the MMR vaccine in Samoa "Children are supposed to be the ones who rest their parents, but in our case, it's both, we've been so unfortunate that it's happening, "Laulu told Barbara Dreaver.
Alana-Rae died in April at the Starship Hospital after being transported to New Zealand from Samoa.
His brother, Jamie Ray, died two years ago
.
"He was in such pain, I told him that everything was going to be okay, that we were just going to fix it, and then go home," says Laulu.
Jamie Ray never went home after
Doctors suspected typhoid, sepsis and dengue fever, but "there had never been the conclusion that it was the MMR vaccine, "says Laulu.
"That's why we never connected her until Alana. -Rae. "
After Alana-Rae was vaccinated, she developed the same symptoms as her brother.
" It was like living the nightmare a second time, "she said. Specialists discovered that she had potentially life-threatening immunodeficiency, and it was likely that her brother also had it.
The MMR injection was given to them, their body entered in hypodrive and this is not supposed to happen, "said Laulu.
The extremely rare disorder affects one in a million children.
However, despite the tragedies, the couple do not blame anyone for what happened to their two babies, thanking the Samoan government and the medical services in Samoa and New Zealand for their help.
However, they want answers and stay in New Zealand pending the results of genetic tests
"We will not be able to recover that in Samoa." I do not think we have the strength to come back to back and pick up the millions and millions of coins, "said Mr. Laulu.
The Laulus"
"It's sad that we've heard that two other families have to undergo the same thing without find out why. "
* The MMR vaccine is recommended for all children in New Zealand, and the Ministry of Health says it has an" excellent safety record. "
