We give the majority of vaccines to children, the most vulnerable, in order to protect them against these diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your child up-to-date with their vaccines is as important as choosing the foods they eat and the medicines they take to keep them healthy. But we know that many of you still have some concerns when it comes to vaccinations.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the common questions and concerns we hear are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Why does my child need so many vaccines?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The body slowly builds immunity to disease with vaccines. Some of the vaccines work best by giving repeated doses every couple of months. The American Association of Pediatrics has carefully designed a vaccine schedule that will protect your child the best.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Those diseases don\u2019t even exist anymore\u2014why do I need to vaccinate my child? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">It\u2019s easy to feel like polio and the measles are yesterday\u2019s problem. But these diseases are not gone\u2014they are only under control <em>because of<\/em> vaccinations. Even today, there are measles outbreaks like the <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2019\/03\/19\/measles-outbreak-oregon-washington-counts-79-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent one<\/a> in Washington state that happen when vaccination levels fall within a community.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vaccines cause autism in children <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">No scientific study or data has been able to support this connection\u2014period. For more information, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccinesafety\/concerns\/autism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Is there a vaccine that can protect against cancer?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Yes! There are actually two. Both the hepatitis B and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines can prevent cancer. Even though the risk of cancer doesn\u2019t develop until later in life, we recommend getting these vaccines as a child when they can have the most protective effect.<\/p>\n<p>As a parent, we make so many choices for our kids \u2014 from diaper brand, to diet, to type of daycare, to how we teach our children about the world they live in. With so much conflicting information available, these choices can be difficult. It\u2019s natural to feel uncertain as you try to make the best choices for your child. Luckily, there is one choice that is easy, safe, and protects all of us: vaccinations.<\/p>\n<p>If you are still unsure about vaccination, talk to your primary care provider. Your provider can help talk you through your concerns. Below are some additional resources with information about vaccinations, discussing your concerns with your provider, and recommended vaccination schedules.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Resources about Vaccinations: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/redbook.solutions.aap.org\/selfserve\/ssPage.aspx?SelfServeContentId=Immunization_Schedules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>AAP Vaccination Schedule<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/english\/safety-prevention\/immunizations\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Information about Vaccines<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en-us\/advocacy-and-policy\/aap-health-initiatives\/immunizations\/Pages\/Immunizations-home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Talking to your doctor about vaccinations<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2.png 800w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2-120x300.png 120w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2-410x1024.png 410w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2-768x1920.png 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2-614x1536.png 614w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2019\/04\/Vaccine-infographic-040219-2-600x1500.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaccines have been around for over 200 years, and since then, there have been dramatic decreases in deaths and disabilities from diseases such as measles, polio, tetanus, pneumonia, and whooping cough, to name a few.
