We're Doctors. Here Are 4 Things Parents Need To Understand About Vaccines.

LOADING ERROR LOADING Chickenpox. Though vaccines against whooping cough work well, their effectiveness wanes over time, meaning that older children may be able to spread the disease again if they do not receive booster shots. “Some kids fell behind on their vaccines and just never caught up,” Dr. Kris Bryant of Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, told HuffPost. Reed said that in a CDC survey conducted in 2023, “concern about serious side effects was the most common reason reported by parents that they would consider not getting their child a routine vaccine.” Again, the pandemic may be behind the shift in some people’s thinking about vaccines. “The recommended schedule is based on how a child’s immune system responds to vaccines at various ages and how likely a baby is to be exposed to a particular disease,” Reed explained.
