Norwell Pediatrics supports science. Tylenol in pregnancy does not cause autism. And neither do vaccines. Vaccines save lives!

Some individuals wrongly assert there is a link between vaccines and autism. Before the claim was discredited, researchers took it seriously, investigated it thoroughly, and found no link. This research, in many countries, involving thousands of individuals, has spanned multiple decades. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to the autistic community.

Immunizations are important to help children stay healthy, so they can learn, grow and thrive. If parents have questions about vaccines or autism, we encourage them to talk to their child’s pediatrician. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nI0Rnb

A child in California just died from a terrible post measles illness called SSPE. Although it is rare, it is almost universally fatal and specifically occurs about 5 years after developing measles. This poor child never had a chance as they developed measles before being eligible for the MMR. Protect your family, protect your community, get vaccinated!

The measles virus is one of the most contagious and infectious diseases known, and the current outbreak is ongoing. As cases rise, vaccinating your children is the most effective way to keep them safe.

High childhood vaccination rates help to create widespread protection against contagious diseases, like measles, within communities. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all children receive the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine at age 12-15 months, then again at 4-6 years to protect them from these diseases.

Learn more about the current measles outbreak and how you can protect your children and community.
