Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule?
Posted By dale on January 6, 2009
As of 2008,the recommended childhood immunization schedule put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has risen to 14, plus the meningococcal vaccine, which is to be administered between the age of two and six.
Infants and toddlers aged 0 to 6 years of age are now given vaccines to prevent the following diseases:
|
Hepatitis B |
Rotavirus |
|
Hepatitis A |
Measles |
|
Diphtheria |
Mumps |
|
Tetanus (lockjaw) |
Rubella (German measles) |
|
Pertussis (whooping cough) |
Varicella (chickenpox) |
|
Polio |
Meningococcal |
|
Pneumococcal infections |
Influenza (yearly flu shots) |
|
Hemophilus influenzae type b infections |
If your child is vaccinated according to the CDC’s recommended schedule, by the time your child starts kindergarten he or she will have received 48 doses of 14 vaccines. Of these, 36 doses will be given during the first 18 months of life.
And now consider this: one vaccine injected into a 13-pound, two-month old infant is equivalent to 10 doses of the same in a 130-pound adult. Where is the common sense in these guidelines?
Would any adult concede to being injected with 360 doses of vaccines within a couple of years’ span; equal to one injection every other day for two years?
Public health officials have NEVER proven that it is indeed safe to inject this number and volume of vaccines into infants. What’s more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurological and immune system disorders in American children.It is becoming increasingly clear that conventional medicine is working against the public welfare.
