Parents: Get Your Baby Vaccinated!
April 24-May 1, 2010, is National Infant Immunization Week. I think this is a perfect follow-up to our last post. With the rise in rates of Autism, concerned parents, medical professionals and the general public are asking, what causes Autism and how can we stop it? Desperately searching for the cause of Autism, researchers are testing every possibility. There are many theories out there for what causes Autism, and they include vaccines, genetics, food allergies, immune deficiency, brain development differences, etc. The problem is, none of these theories have been proven.
According to the CDC, there has been no proven link between vaccines and autism. So, please get your baby vaccinated. By not vaccinating your baby, you are putting her or him at risk for very serious diseases. We here at NCPPC would also like to remind you that breastfeeding is a natural way for you to immunize your baby against common infections, like colds.
Watch the CDC’s v
ideo, “Get the Picture- Childhood Immunizations” to learn more about vaccines and your baby.
For more information on vaccine schedules in New York State, visit the NYS Department of Health website or view their Recommend Immunization Schedule (Spanish).
