The discussion (and debate) of vaccinations can be both emotional as well as confusing. This website is a compilation of many vaccine resources tied together alongside some of the recent vaccination scientific literature. As a pediatrician in support of vaccinations, I hope that this website will serve several functions: Explain that vaccines are neither 100% safe nor 100% effective - but why we feel that the benefits still outweigh the risks of vaccines Identify the current vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) and discuss some common anti-vaccination views of VPDs Debunk some of the common anti-vaccination literature Provide links to reliable resources for vaccine information Discuss and provide examples of why some vaccine resources are unreliable Serve as a fundamental basis upon which vaccination research may start Provide quicker access to vaccine information that is requested frequently The Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs) - Brief disease descriptions and links to more detailed disease information Vaccination Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Review of Anti-vaccination websites Vaccination "hot topics" Vaccination links - to some of my favorite vaccination websites Currently Recommended Childhood Vaccination Schedule Summary of "rules" of vaccination Definitions of commonly used vaccination terms If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please feel free to email me Eve (cl-kidoctr) - Vaccine Support Community Leader Read about me Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics
