Want to learn more about vaccines but don’t know where to start?

I have compiled a list of recommended resources to help you start your research. This list includes a variety of sources, such as books, websites, podcasts, and documentaries. There are numerous studies cited in each of them.

 

Here are a few overall questions to ask as you examine each vaccine:

  • What disease(s) is this vaccine intended to prevent?
  • How well does it prevent the disease?
  • Does it stop transmission?
  • What ingredients are in this vaccine?
  • What are the known side effects of this vaccine?
  • How common is this disease?
  • How can this disease be prevented?
  • What symptoms would my child have if they had this disease and what risks/complications are there?
  • What treatment would they need if they got this disease?
  • How does the risk of the illness compare to the risk of the vaccine?
