A common concern among parents these days is the safety of vaccines.

National news stories, television programs, celebrities and parents of children are speaking out questioning childhood vaccines. Many concerns have evolved around issues such as:

  • Are vaccines still needed?
  • Are we giving our children too many vaccines?
  • Can vaccines give my child autism?
  • Are vaccines safe?
  • Can my child get other diseases from vaccines such as diabetes asthma, or allergies?
These are just a few of the concerns parents have that cause them to question giving their children vaccinations.

"Simply put, vaccines save lives. Before the development of vaccines, thousands of children died or were seriously disabled every year from these diseases. Children were paralyzed by polio, or became seriously ill because of diseases like measles, mumps and rubella."
