One-third of children between the ages of 19-35 months don't receive vaccines on time, leaving them vulnerable to preventable infectious diseases, and their complications, a new study finds.
The CDC recommends children be vaccinated against 14 illnesses in their first three years of life; Chickenpox Diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough , Haemophilus influenzae type b disease , Measles, mumps, and rubella , Polio , Pneumococcal disease , Hepatitis A . Vaccination has been named an effective public health intervention yet, parents are still choosing to delay or forgo vaccination for their children. Uncertainty about safety and necessity of vaccines, along with general mistrust of the pharmaceutical industry, has led to this recent trend, the study said.
The study also confirms that misinformation about vaccines in recent years and reservations about giving too many vaccines at one time may be leading to these delays.
