| Conflicting information | vaccines do not cause autism!! Government mandate, August 2026 - decrease # of vaccines for all children 11-18, Hep A&B, meningococcal, RSV Current CDC guidelines - decision parents make with PCP, 1 vax/visit, MMR into 3 shots and 3 appts |
| Childhood Vaccines: Evidence Based Benefit | Prevents serious disease, disability, and death Herd immunity protects infants and the immunocompromised Far lower risk than the disease it prevents Some diseases nearly eliminated in the U.S. |
| Childhood Vaccines: Evidence Based RIsk | Common: soreness, low-grade fever, fussiness Rare: severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) - epi available IM Contraindications must be screened Not linked to autism — extensively studied |
| bottom line in childhood vaccines | the risk of vaccine-preventable disease outweighs the risk of the vaccine. Screen, counsel, document. |
| documented risks of vaccines | Anaphylaxis/allergic reaction – agent vs. suspension medium Compromised immune function History of Intussusception or Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) History of seizures Moderate or severe illness |
