Recommended childhood vaccines, 1973.
DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus)
MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
Polio vaccine
Recommended childhood vaccines, 2006
Seems like a heavy load, hepatitis A&B, influenza (2 types), chickenpox (varicella), meningitis, pneumonia…
I don’t know that this heavy and early medicalization represents “progress”.
Anyway, I was incorrect earlier.
The Lederle Labs vaccine that was huge problematical in the 1980′s was the P or “pertussis” (whooping cough) component of the DPT shot.
