Here’s an email I got in response to an item I did on TV
encouraging parents to vaccinate their kids.
Dear Dr. Hister;
Thank you so much for voicing a strong advocation for
childhood vaccinations.
I am an RN at BCCH (BC Children’s Hospital) and in my (many)
years of pediatric nursing I have never seen nor heard of a child being
admitted for a vaccine reaction.
Sadly however; I have looked after several children
seriously affected by a vaccine preventable illness.
Something that any parents opposed to vaccines to ponder.
