This week, I revisit the topic of Vaccinations, inspired by an email from listener Angela. I read her letter and wanted to discuss this topic some more, especially since there has been so much talk in the news recently. So I jump back on my soapbox, and give you my opinions and some places to get good information. Here are a few of the articles I have found that discuss important points, in my opinion.

CDC Info about HepB vaccines

CDC Info about Chickenpox vaccine

CDC Info about Shingles

Newsweek Article about Oprah

What’s the deal with Aluminum?

Genetic Link to Autism

Good summary article of history of this debate

And here is a picture of Angela’s lovely little girls getting a sci-fi head start!
