Dr. Neha: Vaccines are rigorously tested for safety and efficacy before they are approved for use. Extensive clinical trials are conducted to assess their safety and effectiveness. After approval, monitoring systems continue to track vaccine safety. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and other health agencies worldwide closely monitor vaccines and maintain adverse event reporting systems to promptly investigate and address any concerns. In general, the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.
There are very few side effects of the HBV vaccine and it is recommended by the CDC, who test the safety and effectiveness for vaccines in the US. See the link below for details from the CDC about what you should know about HBV vaccines.
Of course they are. Vaccines have saved millions of lives! As long as you are in a sterile environment and using clean needles, vaccines are a VERY good choice.
Dr. Jonas Salk was the first person to create the first safe and effective Polio Vaccine.
Most pneumonia vaccines, including the pneumococcal vaccines, do not contain mercury. Some vaccines historically contained thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, but many vaccines have been reformulated to eliminate this ingredient. Current formulations of pneumonia vaccines are considered safe and do not pose mercury-related risks. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific vaccine ingredient information.
Thimerosal, a mercury-containing compound used as a preservative in some vaccines, has been extensively studied for safety. Research has shown that thimerosal does not pose a significant risk to human health, and its use in vaccines has not been linked to autism or other serious health issues. In response to public concern, thimerosal has been removed or reduced in most childhood vaccines in the U.S. and other countries, but it remains in some flu vaccines. Overall, vaccines are considered safe and effective in preventing diseases.
Actually, vaccine's are very good. For example, the Swine Flu. I had to get a vaccine for the flu, and what the medicine did was protect my body from getting the flu. Vaccines are good for your body. Like i said, it protects your body. =Good :) :) :)
Yes, vaccines are tested to standards by impartial authorities to ensure the health risk is minimal.See related questions below for more details.
A healthy newborn at home is a reason to get MMR and varicella vaccines, not a reason to avoid them. Be sure to ask your health care provider about influenza and pertussis immunization as well.
No, someone is just trying to scare people by saying that the vaccine can turn you into mutant zombies. That will not happen because it isn't possible. The vaccines for Novel H1N1 Swine Flu are being made with the same basic ingredients and manufacturing processes that are used to make regular seasonal flu vaccines. These have proven safe for years, so there is really no more need for concern about these vaccines than about the regular flu vaccines. The government of the US, the manufacturers, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are all involved in human trials of the vaccine in multiple locations across the US. Time frames may be shortened slightly, but the same double blind clinical trials will be completed before the FDA releases the vaccine for use as with any vaccines previously developed and tested.
V-safe 100 is a mobile application developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in real-time. It allows users to report any side effects or health issues they experience after vaccination, providing valuable data to health authorities. The app also offers personalized health check-ins and reminders for future vaccine doses. Overall, it aims to enhance vaccine safety surveillance and public confidence in vaccination efforts.
The Danish study found that the DTP vaccine is safe and effective in preventing diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis in children.
No, but a modified live vaccine (MLV) may cause embryo death or an infection of the fetus, especially if you time the vaccinations wrong. But no, it won't cause abortion. A killed vaccine is more safe and effective to vaccinate your cows against BVD. An oil-based killed BVD vaccine is safer and more effective than either MLV vaccines or other types of killed vaccines. If you are concerned about infecting your cows' fetuses with MLV, then it's best to use the killed vaccine instead.
