Patti Neighmond's Opinions

Vaccination

Do the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks?

Agree

Much of this refusal [to vaccinate] has to do with perceived vaccine safety issues, such as purported associations between vaccines and autism, attention deficit disorder, seizures and epilepsy. None of these concerns have been upheld in research. In fact, all scientific studies show vaccines to be highly effective and safe, with only rare, moderate, adverse side effects.
