The childhood vaccine schedule was set up based on huge amounts of research and scientific data. The recent changes are not based in science. The Pharmacy team at Hillcrest recommends following the recommendations of the American Academy of pediatrics and sticking with the old vaccine schedule.

What changed? The most notable removals were of four vaccines, flu, rotavirus, meningitis, and hepatitis. They are now to be provided based on shared decision-making between parents and physicians. Let’s look at each one of these individually. Pharmacist Melissa, certified immunizer and mom of 4, will share her thoughts below!

Let’s talk about flu shot first, because right now Lancaster County is seeing record numbers of flu infection. Although most children fight flu and recover fine, the United States has already seen several childhood deaths from the flu this year. The flu shot has been around for decades and has a proven record of safety and efficacy. For my kids, if I can save them that misery I’m definitely going to do it.

Moving onto the rotavirus vaccine. Rotavirus is a nasty stomach bug, again most children will recover from this virus just fine, but it is a incredibly miserable experience. All four of my children received the rotavirus vaccine, even though it was relatively new when my oldest was born. Since then, almost 2 decades of safety data have been accumulated and this vaccine is safe and effective. Again, if I can save my children from the miserable experience of this nasty stomach bug I absolutely am going to.

Moving onto meningococcal or meningitis vaccine. This disease can be absolutely deadly. It is quite rare, but when it strikes, it is very serious. This is another vaccine that has huge amounts of safety data. Absolutely I will protect my children from this deadly illness!

Lastly, the hepatitis vaccine. I cannot wrap my mind around why we would remove the infant hepatitis vaccine from the schedule. The decrease in infection rate since we began infant doses is amazing. Check out an article from “your local epidemiologist” in the comments for more information. There is nothing good about removing this vaccine.

Another thing that I think is important to note is the United States’ lack of paid sickleave. Diseases like the flu and Rotavirus often pull children from school for a week at a time. As a small business owner, I do not have paid sickleave. Caring for my little ones and being out of work for that long is detrimental to our family’s financial situation. That may seem like a trivial reason to introduce chemicals into a child’s body, but when I weigh the vast amount of safety and efficacy data alongside the financial aspects of missing work, against the almost nonexistent risk of vaccination, vaccination is truly a win-win situation!

In summary, even with these changes, parents can still protect their children. Insurance will still cover all vaccines. I encourage parents to speak with their pediatricians and pharmacists about vaccination. We are happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Pennies are being phased out… the bank cannot order amymore, and so this might be our last batch! We will begin rounding up or down to the nickel where necessary.

We are hearing many reports of friends with the flu for the holidays. We are still offering the flu vaccine to protect you and your family.

Although not perfect, vaccination is the best protection available. It might not keep you from getting the flu if exposed, but it will help you fight the virus to minimize symptoms and keep you out of the hospital.
