Gun Violence Is a Public Health Measure
Discussion For anyone, general access to guns is one major reason fatalities and injuries. If a gun is not available then it simply cannot be used. In pediatric patients, younger children are simply curious about the world and will explore everything, including guns, that they find without any understanding of the danger. Older children developmentally are not able to discern the difference between the fantasy world of videogames, movies and television and may not understand that people truly are hurt or killed by guns. Somehow in the fantasy worlds, the hero or player always seems to be able to come back to life. Teens an...

Vaccines not linked with autism, study finds
Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis has found no association between vaccination and the development of autism or autism spectrum disorder. The cohort studies included in the systematic review had information on more than a million children from four different countries.  This was a valuable and rigorous piece of research that will hopefully reassure parents who have any concerns about getting their children vaccinated against childhood diseases. As with all studies, this research has limitations. It excluded data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the United States, a system si...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Newly Appointed Vaccine Chair, Has A Dangerously Anti-Science View
President-elect Donald Trump made his previously vague stance on vaccines much clearer on Tuesday, when he invited vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to chair a panel on vaccine safety and scientific integrity.  Like many people who speak out against current vaccination practices, Kennedy says he’s fine with the concept of the shots but strongly opposes the use of thimerosal ― a preservative that hasn’t been used in childhood vaccines in the U.S. since 2001.  Kennedy’s position against a scary-sounding chemical compound may seem measured, considering he has acknowledged that vaccines h...

The ‘Stealth Move’ That Improved Michigan's Vaccine Rates
Just three years ago, Michigan had the fourth-highest rate of unvaccinated kindergartners in the nation. But when a charter school in northwestern Traverse City reported nearly two dozen cases of whooping cough and several cases of measles that November, state officials were jolted to action. Without much fanfare — or time for opponents to respond — they abandoned the state’s relatively loose rules for getting an exemption and issued a regulation requiring families to consult personally with local public health departments before obtaining an immunization waiver. The new rule sidestepped potential ideolog...

Influenza and Pertussis Vaccine Uptake during Pregnancy: Determinants Found through a Multi-Center Questionnaire Study of Pregnant Women and Healthcare Professionals
The objective of this article is to assess the adherence of pregnant women to the national recommendations for influenza and pertussis vaccination and the reasons behind their non-adherence.
