Healthy Tips: Vaccines

Healthy Tips:

So what’s the deal with vaccines? Are they safe? Should kids be getting the shots more spread out? There is still a lot of controversy circulating around vaccines and it can be hard to know who is right and what sources to trust.  Especially when a lot of public figures outspokenly disapprove of vaccines.  So here’s the down and dirty. Vaccines are safe and very important.  Study after study has been done to show that vaccines do not cause Autism.  The signs of Autism just become apparent around the same age as most vaccines are scheduled. The vaccine schedules are set up to protect the child when they need it most as well as to take advantage of when their immune system is at its strongest.  As we get older we stop making long lasting immunity.  So its best to get most vaccines when we are young.  There is absolutely no mercury in the vaccines.  Also if there are any side effects or bad reactions from a vaccine, as with all medications, they are reported and the vaccines safety is continually being checked and updated.  Because of vaccines we have eliminated so many childhood illnesses that use to result in death.  So please vaccinate your children for their health and safety.
