Frederick Mandell, MD>>> Many parents have questions about vaccinations, whether they
should do all at once, whether they should space them out, which vaccinations are more
important than others and I found most recently that more parents seem to want to space out
the vaccination or have a different schedule than I have.
As a physician I am very willing to space out the vaccinations as long as they have
the vaccinations. I think these vaccinations are protective, it would lower the incidence
of meningitis secondary to Haemophilus influenza, it would the incidence of pneumonia, it would
lower the incidence of polio remarkably.
Vaccinations are terribly important for children. Unfortunately, there have been studies about
nasal vaccine and its relationship to autism have been refuted. There is no evidence that
there is a relationship between nasal vaccine and autism.
From my point of view, I would like parents to understand that these vaccines are preventative
and they will prevent illnesses that a child might have if the child is not vaccinated.
