immunization schedule is reviewed and approved by CDC, American Academy
of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Alternative vaccination
schedules have not been tested, reviewed, or approved by any medical
authority or public health group. Alternative schedules delay induction
of immunity and leaves children vulnerable to vaccine-preventable
diseases. |
