Excellent and exceedingly timely review of aluminum salt adjuvants in vaccines given Friday's ACIP discussion on exactly this topic. 🧪🦠
#medsky #pedsky #idsky #immunosky #episky
I collaborated with exceptionally talented people in infectious diseases to write this Special Article about aluminum salts in childhood vaccines.
We review the evidence base for key safety concerns and offer guidance for communication with caregivers.

It's less about efficacy than safety. Fundamentally, the childhood vaccination schedule is so dense in the beginning because kids have no immune memory to protect them from these diseases and that is the period they are most vulnerable. Delaying the vaccines increases the duration of vulnerability.
What timing of vaccination is potentially dangerous for children younger than 2 years?
Vaccine-preventable diseases still occur although measured coverage rates at 2 y of age are high. The occurrence of these diseases may be explained in part by untimely, that is, late vaccination. Our objective was to identify potentially dangerous ...
