Should newborns and young children be vaccinated?

← Vaccine Safety & Public Health?

Vaccines recommended for newborns and young children are designed to protect against a wide range of serious infections. These illnesses can be dangerous in early childhood, and vaccination schedules are based on age, not a parent’s infection status.

While maternal Hepatitis B or other conditions may influence additional preventative steps, routine childhood immunisation remains recommended for all children to ensure broad protection and reduce the risk of outbreaks.

Statement:

Newborns and young children should receive routine vaccinations to protect them from preventable diseases, regardless of the mother’s Hepatitis B or other infection status. (AGREE/DISAGREE)

The results can be analyzed in a variety of ways to get a better understanding of key issues utilizing Bayesian statistics - a mathematical concept that updates beliefs in light of new data or evidence.

As a result, these surveys have the potential to be the most definitive resources on some of the most critically important issues of modern times and serve as the basis for the idea of "open democracy."
