Maurice Mouille was a happy, healthy kindergartener when he went to the doctor to receive a single flu shot. Maurice’s mother, Michelle, had been told since the boy had asthma, the flu shot would help prevent more serious illness when Maurice got sick.


At first, Maurice developed a fever, which Michelle had been told was normal. However, she couldn’t fight the gnawing feeling that something wasn’t right. Maurice felt lethargic and unwell. Michelle put her son in bed to rest, left the room for a glass of water, and when she came back he was “stiff as a board, drooling, with his eyes rolled back into his head.” He was having the first of many seizures.


Rushing him to the hospital, Maurice was soon in the ICU + wouldn’t leave for 40 days. Michelle says, “it seemed that the more adamant I was that the flu shot caused this, the more they tried to find any reason that it wasn’t the cause.” Maurice today suffers from epilepsy and has autism. He has been completely non-verbal since his first seizure.

Maurice’s signature is # 55 on the #CHDBUS.
