Vaccines use tiny amounts of aluminum to help the immune system respond better, which means fewer shots for kids. Our bodies already handle small amounts of aluminum from food and water, and the amount in vaccines is far below harmful levels.

Vaccines prevent A LOT of diseases. The time to find out whether you’re protected against all of them is before you’re exposed to one. That’s as easy as calling your doctor’s office. You don’t have to assume you’re immune. #VaccinateIndiana
