While childhood vaccination rates are well over 90%, adults are far more likely to be behind on vaccinations http://www.hhs.gov/nvpo/national_adult_immunization_plan_final.pdf
Think you're up to date on your vaccinations? You might be surprised at how many vaccinations are now recommended for American adults -- and the federal government plans to start tracking which of those vaccines you're behind on.
The Department of Health and Human Services released its preliminary draft of a new five year plan to increase adult vaccinations this month. The newly revised 52-page National Adult Immunization Plan says:
While the NVP provides a vision for improving protection from vaccine-preventable diseases across the lifespan, vaccination coverage levels among adults are not on track to meet Healthy People 2020 targets.
It describes the plan for the next five years as:
Goal 1: Strengthen the adult immunization infrastructure. Goal 2: Improve access to adult vaccines. Goal 3: Increase community demand for adult immunizations. Goal 4: Foster innovation in adult vaccine development and vaccination-related technologies.

Different 5 year plan from the one the Soviets put in place but nonetheless, still a 5 year plan. Gee whiz, aren’t we lucky they care so much.
Pharmaceutical companies must be showing losses..
How long before the “it’s great because the government approves of it” chime in here????
Thank you, friend; but, no, not new to the discussion since 1985, when my youngest daughter .....a toddler at the time, suffered brain inflammation after her MMR shot; and which...if ignorant parents are to be believed....left her mildly autistic thereafter. My two daughters were raised without vaccines for the rest of their lives....and, now in their 30’s...doing very well, and healthier than many of their peers. The oldest daughter is a Merchant officer....has been exposed to everything, everywhere on the planet. She’s hale and hearty. I have suffered virulent abuse in the forum for 16 years defending voluntary abstention.
Seems the closet tyrants reveal themselves with regard to this particular issue.
Bill of Rights? How adorable...you still believe in that old thing? Obama’s got our back now...
Here’s some solid info http://www.aapsonline.org/testimony/mandvac.htm
FACT SHEET ON MANDATORY VACCINES
AAPS does not oppose vaccines. AAPS has never taken an anti-vaccine position, although opponents have tried to paint that picture. AAPS has only attempted to halt government or school districts from blanket vaccine mandates that violate parental informed consent.
42 states have mandatory vaccine policies, and many children are required 22 shots by first grade.
According to government statistics, children under the age of 14 are three times more likely to suffer adverse effects — including death — following the hepatitis B vaccine than to catch the disease itself.
The Centers for Disease Control admits that the reported number of adverse effects of vaccines is probably only 10% of actual adverse effects.
The Physician’s Desk Reference cites adverse reactions to the hepatitis B in less than 1 percent. However, if more than 70 million American children receive the vaccine, that means more than 700,000 children are likely to suffer adverse reactions.
Children are a very low risk group for hepatitis B. Primary risk factors are dependent on lifestyle, i.e. multiple sex partners, drug abuse or an occupation with exposure to blood.
Rampant conflicts of interest in the approval process has been the subject of several Congressional hearings, and a recent Congressional report concluded that the pharmaceutical industry has indeed exerted undue influence on mandatory vaccine legislation toward its own financial interests.
The vaccine approval process has also been contaminated by flawed or incomplete clinical trials, and government officials have chosen to ignore negative results. For example, the CDC was forced to withdraw its recommendation of the rotavirus vaccine within one year of approval. Yet public documents obtained by AAPS show that the CDC was aware of alarmingly high intussuception rates months before the vaccine was approved and recommended.
Mandatory vaccines violate the medical ethic of informed consent. A case could also be made that mandates for vaccines by school districts and legislatures is the de facto practice of medicine without a license.
The CDC’s own “Guide to Contraindications to Childhood Vaccination” warns that when assessing children’s common symptoms, “if any one of them is a contraindication, DO NOT VACCINATE” [caps added]. And yet, under legislated mandates, the vaccines are still required.”
“Vaccinogen?” Really? They actually do tell you just what they intend to do.
Vaccineaholic Nanny State PING!
So sorry you had the personal experience that enables you to understand the issue.
Since the dramatic increase in autism following immunization more “ignorant parents” who have seen first hand vaccine reactions are speaking out. Social media allows these parents to share their stories. I believe that is one of the reasons for the push to make vaccines mandatory-quickly. This will reach a “tipping point” where more and more people just say NO.
A five year plan.
Interesting - presidential elections run on 4 year cycles.
With umpteen million unvaccinated “Americans in Waiting” out there, I’m all in favor of getting vaccinated. This open borders policy will be the death of us all (or at least many of us).
Deadly diseases long thought of as extinct are surfacing faster than imaginable. This is brutal for those with suppressed immune systems.
That was a lot of hard reading for such a little laugh!
“”I have suffered virulent abuse in the forum for 16 years defending voluntary abstention.””
SHHHHHH - let’s hope we can all have a friendly discussion on this before a certain freeper wakes up in TX and signs in to name call and insult all of us for the opinions we hold.
I knew Dr. Carson was bought and paid for when I saw him come out in favor of vaccinations recently. It wasn’t too hard to Google him and find the press release, since we still have a “free internet.”
Love Robert Service but never ran across this. Great and thanks. My favorite is “The Cremation of Sam McGee.”
Add to that the undeniable fact that vaccination weakens the immune system while it's being challenged, which can lead to any number of illnesses worse than what's being vaccinated for.
Bottom line is that vaccinations are harmful primarily because they do what they're supposed to do ... counterintuitive as that may seem.
Sorry.
I often find I cannot settle down for some focused reading. Too much short-attention-span media exposure and guilt from not multitasking. Maybe you, too?
But be encouraged that you have some bi-lingual capability to get through that! Real readers are getting to be an endangered specie.
Death by vaccination.
“Right now, there is legislation pending all over the country to force compulsory vaccinations. Also remember that this legislation will not just affect infants and children, but may also determine whether you have any say in how many vaccinations you must receive each year and what those might be.”
Nothing can go wrong here; just trust Big Brother. I’m sure they already have a vaccine for those that oppose the government.
I also wonder if nano particles could be used in the vaccine that would allow for tracking of an individual or even receiving information.
But is Dr Carson advocating MANDATORY vaccination? Quite different than suggesting it’s a good idea...in his opinion.
Why is the world’s richest geek so into birf control?
