Immunizations
Immunization of children has become a very controversial topic. For the past several years, some people have alleged a link between particular vaccines and autism. The most reliable medical researchers have found that no such link exists; however, conspiracy theories persist.
Rather than summarize the vast quantity of information about vaccines here, we will refer you to websites of experts on the subject. None of the websites are provided by or sponsored by vaccine manufacturers.
The physicians of The Pediatric Group believe in vaccines. But we understand your concerns and desire to keep your child safe and healthy. We encourage our patient families to educate themselves on this subject and to discuss any concerns with your child's doctor. The physicians of our group will gladly work with you to arrive at solutions and answers to your concerns.
Consult the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website for the recommended immunization schedule.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Vaccine Education Center is a comprehensive resource for vaccine information.
The Allied Vaccine Group is another good site to check out. Here's a quote from their site:
"You will not find blind advocacy here, or anger, or fear. Instead you will find the facts you need to know, whether you are a patient, a parent, a health care provider, a researcher, a journalist or a policymaker."
Another excellent site for information is provided by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Their Institute for Vaccine Safety has medical research summaries and citations for you to utilize in your quest for information.
