Vaccine Safety |
|
| Currently, the United States has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in its history. A long-standing vaccine safety system ensures that vaccines are as safe as possible. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ensures the safety, effectiveness, and availability of U.S.-approved vaccines. |

| The National Academy of Medicine, formerly known as the Institute of Medicine (IOM), is an impartial group of the world's leading experts that advises Congress on
science issues. After reviewing more than 200 studies in 2004 and more than 1,000 studies in 2011, its consensus report strongly stated that the evidence did not show a
link between vaccines and autism. |
