Vaccine Adverse Effects: IOM report releases Aug. 25

August 22nd, 2011

Vaccines have dramatically reduced illnesses and deaths due to infectious diseases over the past century. However, no pharmaceutical product is completely without risk and some people have experienced health problems associated with immunization.

Adverse Effects of Vaccines: Evidence and Causality, a new report from the Institute of Medicine, presents a comprehensive synthesis of the scientific evidence about the potential risks of eight vaccines covered by the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The report identifies some risks that are linked to vaccines as well as some effects that are not caused by immunizations.
