Vaccine Safety

"Immunizations are one of the most important ways parents can protect their children against serious diseases.ÝYour child's chances of being harmed by these diseases are far greater than any chance of being harmed by the vaccines. Although vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and polio are rarely seen in the U.S., they continue to flourish in other parts of the world that are only a plane ride away. Recent outbreaks of pertussis, measles and mumps remind us of the importance of immunizing children. Science continues to bring us new vaccines to protect against disease. When new vaccines offer new protections, medical experts recommend changes."
