Published on in Vaccine Update for Healthcare Providers
Videos
The CDC has launched a new animated video series for parents, called How Vaccines Work. So far, they have published three videos in the series:
- How do germs make your baby sick?
- Vaccines and your baby’s immune system
- What to expect when your child is vaccinated
The videos are also featured on the CDC’s parent information section about vaccines.
Website
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS, NAE and NAM) joined forces to address the misinformation about vaccine safety by creating a website to address common questions. The site and its statements offer another resource that you can point to in support of vaccines and their safety.
