Vaccines are simply a normal part of childhood checkups. Childhood vaccines are required for daycares, schools and even other childhood activities. However, many of the vaccines being given today have been linked to neurological injuries, seizures, and auto-immune disorders.

More Childhood Vaccine Information
Childhood vaccines start almost immediately after birth, with at least six vaccines being recommended from birth to six months. Children are given multiple doses of each vaccine, with boosters also being given in later childhood. The routine childhood vaccines (including the doses) are:
- DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis) or DT (Diphtheria and Tetanus): 5 doses – 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months, 4-6 years.
- Hepatitis B: 3 doses – Birth, 1-2 months, 6-18 months.
- Polio: 4 doses – 2 months, 4 months, 6-18 months, 4-6 years.
- Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b): 3 or 4 doses – 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12-15 months.
- Pneumococcal: 4 doses – 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12-15 months.
- Rotavirus: 2 or 3 doses – 2 months, 4 months, 6 months.
While vaccines have reduced some illness by up to 95%, in a study conducted by the University of Michigan, researchers found that 54% of parents are worried about serious side effects. The study also found that 12% of parents have refused at least one vaccine recommended by their doctor. Vaccine expert, Dr. Marc Siegel, associate professor of medicine at New York University, believes one problem might be that children are getting too many vaccines now, 32 in all.
Each vaccine has different side effects, some of which can be serious, permanent and even deadly. Vaccines given during childhood have been linked to neurological injuries, seizures, and auto-immune disorders.
