Information Center Urges Parents To Vaccinate Safely.(National Vaccine Information Center)
2001 SEP 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to preventing vaccine injuries and deaths through public education, is urging parents to take precautionary measures to minimize vaccine risks.
As parents take their children in for school vaccinations, NVIC cautions that parents must be fully informed in order to be effective partners with their doctors in preventing vaccine reactions.
"Although vaccines can prevent serious childhood diseases, every vaccine, like every drug, carries a reaction risk," said Barbara Loe Fisher, NVIC. "All children are not alike and some children do have problems with vaccination. It is just as important for parents to know how to protect against and recognize vaccine reactions as it is for doctors to work with parents to minimize vaccine risks and report health problems following vaccination to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System."
The parent-founded and operated NVIC, which worked with Congress to create the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and has served as a consumer advocate watchdog since its implementation, has the following vaccine safety tips:
* Do not vaccinate a child sick with a viral or bacterial infection - wait until the child has been healthy for several weeks
* Do not revaccinate a child who has had a deterioration in health following previous vaccinations until it can be conclusively determined that the vaccines were not the cause
