In 2018 Melbourne man Mason Reed was required to get a meningococcal immunisation for work, but he experienced extremely rare side effects and spent two weeks in a coma.
It was months before Mr Reed could walk or drive again and he still has permanent damage to his sight and back muscles.
"When I woke from the coma I was not myself — I was incredibly disabled," he told Virginia Trioli.
"My muscles everywhere — my body had completely degenerated, [it was a] horrible experience."
