Most US Kids get vaccines, but parents still worry

  This article addresses the concerns that parents have about vaccinating their children. Most parents are getting their children vaccinated. 2% of parents said their children would not get any of the recommend vaccinations, while 5% said their children would get some of the vaccines. I believe parents' main concerns are:  1. Are these vaccinations safe for my child?  2. Do they really need all theses vaccinations?  3. What are the long term affects of these shots?  I understand parents' concerns. As teachers, we can provide parents with resources and information on vaccinations and those shots that are needed to start school.
