Vaccination Pros and Cons: Help for the Confused and Concerned Parent

Presented by Dr. Aviva Romm

There is probably no topic relating to children’s health that is as emotionally charged as vaccinations. Parents unsure of the best course of action for their children – what vaccinations to use, and when – can quickly be overwhelmed by the ferocity of the arguments generated by both sides of the debate. It should come as no surprise that sorting through conflicting vaccine data is a challenge for even the experts. However, concerned parents looking for guidance and a balanced perspective on the vaccine debate can turn to Dr. Aviva Romm for help. Dr. Romm, author of Vaccinations: A Thoughtful Parent’s Guide, joins us for a stimulating discussion on the pros and cons of vaccines (including following a standard vaccination schedule, an individualized or selective schedule, or no vaccinations at all) as well as safe and effective natural approaches to strengthening a child’s immune system, to help you achieve optimal health for your children.

Aviva Romm, MD is an internationally respected expert in botanical and integrative medicine for women and children, and one of the founders of the Yale School of Medicine Integrative Medicine Program.
