GET YOUR KIDS VACCINATED

 DEADLY DISEASES THAT SHOULD ONLY BE SEEN IN TEXT BOOKS ARE SHOWING UP IN EMERGENCY ROOMS

In recent years there have been pockets of resistance to childhood vaccination in the United States. This is very worrying. 

So what's the problem? 

Whooping cough, chickenpox, Hib (a cause of meningitis), measles and influenza still circulate in the USA. Polio still infects kids in other countries and our world is highly mobile.

The measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccine is recommended for children 12 months old (6 months in certain high-risk groups of childern).  This means that for about one year your unvaccinated infant can be infected when  coming in contact with a diseased individual.

There is no reason for most children not to be vaccinated and a whole lot of reasons to get the vaccination.

Modern vaccines are highly effective and safe, with most serious side effects being exceptionally rare and far less serious than the disease itself. Vaccination in the USA, and worldwide, has saved the lives of millions of children.

 Vaccines do not cause autism and they do not contain toxic chemicals. Do not believe anybody who tells you they do.
