Harmful myths suggesting that vaccines cause autism sow fear and distrust in vaccines, ultimately jeopardizing the great progress we’ve made in preventing serious childhood diseases. For decades, scientists have studied the potential causes of autism, and have repeatedly found no credible link between childhood vaccines and autism. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to our autistic community.

As pediatricians, we are deeply concerned about the prevalence of misinformation and the growing trend of vaccine refusal. With flu season approaching, we feel a strong sense of responsibility to provide accurate information.

Last year's flu season was devastating, with a record number of flu hospitalizations and hundreds of young lives lost, many of which could have been prevented. The flu vaccine cannot prevent every infection, but it does prevent the most serious and dangerous complications, including hospitalizations, ICU stays, and death.
