Description: Pediatrician Dr. Caity Gilman is here to shed light on the facts surrounding vaccines and address common concerns and questions she hears most often from parents in her practice, like:   - Does the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine cause autism? (Spoiler: No, vaccines do not cause autism.)   - Do I need to vaccinate my child based on my pediatrician's suggested schedule?   - What are the risks of stopping administering vaccines to children?   - If vaccines are so good, why don't we have them for more things, like the common cold?   - Is it really necessary to get a flu shot every year?   - Are people given the actual disease when they get a vaccine? If so, then why not just get the illness itself and let my immune system learn to fight it?   - Should you give your baby Tylenol before a vaccine so the shot hurts less?   If you've ever had questions or felt unsure about vaccines, this episode is packed with helpful, expert-driven insights. Dr. Gilman's thoughtful, research-backed approach is sure to leave you feeling more informed and empowered!     SHOW NOTES: (link)   ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES: American Academy of Pediatrics: Immunizations American Academy of Pediatrics :Examine the Evidence CDC: Vaccines for Children   CHECK OUT ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 🎧 How mold, Lyme, pesticides, and other toxins may be impacting your child's physical and mental health with Dr. Pejman Katiraei   🎧 How to ease your childs anxiety for doctors visits with pediatrician Dr. Rachel Geronemus
