Do you have children/grandchildren? Do you not want them protected from diseases? Which ones of these diseases do you want to unnecessarily inflict upon your children/grandchildren?
Children typically do not receive 72 vaccines. The recommended childhood immunization schedule in the United States includes a total of approximately 30 vaccines by the age of 18. These vaccines are administered in multiple doses over time, with some vaccines requiring as many as 5 doses. The specific number of vaccines and doses may vary slightly depending on the child’s individual health needs and the recommendations of their healthcare provider.
By age six, childhood vaccines in the U.S. protect against 14 serious diseases:
Diphtheria: A serious throat infection that can cause breathing problems and heart failure.
Tetanus (lockjaw): A bacterial infection that causes painful muscle tightening and spasms, often entering the body through wounds.
Pertussis (whooping cough): A highly contagious respiratory infection that causes violent coughing fits and is especially dangerous for babies.
Polio (poliomyelitis): A disabling and life-threatening disease that can infect the spinal cord and cause paralysis.
Measles: A very contagious viral infection that can cause rash, high fever, cough, and in rare cases, brain damage or death.
Mumps: A viral infection that causes fever and swollen glands and can lead to complications like deafness or
swelling of the brain.
Rubella (German measles): A viral infection that is usually mild in children but poses a serious risk to pregnant women as it can cause severe birth defects.
Hepatitis B: A viral infection that can cause lifelong chronic liver infection, liver damage, and liver cancer.
Hepatitis A: A viral infection of the liver spread through contaminated food or water or close contact with an infected person.
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib): A bacterial infection that can lead to meningitis (swelling of the lining of the brain and spinal cord), pneumonia, and other severe infections.
Pneumococcal disease: A bacterial infection that can cause pneumonia, blood poisoning (sepsis), and meningitis.
Rotavirus: A highly contagious virus that is the leading cause of severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration in young children.
Chickenpox (varicella): A very contagious disease that causes an itchy rash and fever and can lead to serious complications like pneumonia or brain swelling.
Influenza (flu): A viral infection of the respiratory
system; an annual flu shot is recommended starting at 6 months of age to prevent severe illness and complications.
