Vaccines are safe. Vaccines are effective at stopping dangerous and potentially deadly childhood illnesses. There is no link between vaccines and autism. Parents should talk with their child’s pediatrician for reliable information about immunizations.
Patients are best served by relying on trusted healthcare guidance from their doctor. Healthcare decisions should not be based on inaccurate, politically-driven opinions of people without medical expertise. The SDSMA continues to be alarmed by government attempts to interfere with access to vaccines. Medical experts base vaccine schedules on an established, transparent process based on scientific evidence. Receiving immunizations on-time keeps our kids and communities healthy and thriving. The SDSMA will continue to advocate for vaccine policies grounded in evidence.
