Have you ever thought much about immunising yourself of your kids? Are you someone who is pro-vaccine but doesn’t actually know much more about the topic. Could you bust some of those reappearing doubts and myths that float around about vaccines being linked to autism or having harmful chemicals. As always, we need to know what’s going on… being educated so we can be confident in the decisions we make for our families.
Today I chat with Dr Preeya Alexander, a Melbourne based GP and mum of two about immunisations. We cover what vaccinations are, the difference between live and non-live vaccines, why they’re important, and Preeya goes deep into the evidence around some of those contentious issues that cast doubt on the safety of vaccinations.
