Vaccines don’t cause autism. Decades of research confirm the safety of the immunization schedule. Autism is linked to brain development before birth, especially in the prefrontal cortex, pointing to genetic and prenatal factors, not vaccines. Science is clear. www.chop.edu/vaccine-educ...

A study of pneumococcal vaccines is being misread.

"The vaccinated [group] were usually older and had more health problems than those who were not vaccinated. That’s probably why they got vaccinated in the first place."

Can pneumococcal vaccines backfire?
A new study didn’t show pneumococcal vaccines are harmful, it showed they weren’t very effective in one older group. Here’s what the data really says.

Feeling under the weather can ruin more than just your week; the flu can knock you out for 7–14 days, but most Americans only have 5 sick days to spare. Don’t let the flu steal your time, your money, or your vacation plans — get a flu shot!

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
