Vaccination

Side Effects

Minor side effects after a vaccine like swelling, redness, and

soreness at the injection site are normal and usually only last
a few days. This reaction shows that your immune system is
reacting well to the vaccine and is building immunity.
Vaccine Safety

● Lab research & testing

● Clinical trials
● Licensure by FDA
● CDC Observation
Threat of Disease

● More measles cases were reported in the first three

months of 2019 than all of 2018.
○ 15 states
● Outbreaks are often linked to unvaccinated travelers
who became infected abroad.
● Everyone is susceptible to disease, so it is important that
everyone has vaccinations.
Anti-Vaccine Movement
● Began with a study that supposedly linked
the MMR vaccine with autism
○ Small study sample
○ Financial compensation
○ Manipulated data
● Vaccine additives
