There has been some concern that vaccination may precipitate the onset
of multiple sclerosis or lead to relapses. Since the recent hepatitis B
vaccination program in France, there have been new reports of an
increased risk of active multiple sclerosis after vaccination.We conducted a
casecrossover study to assess whether vaccinations increase the risk of
relapse in multiple sclerosis.Exposure to vaccination in the two-month risk
period immediately preceding the relapse was compared with that in the
four previous two-month control periods for the calculation of relative
risks, which were estimated with the use of conditional logistic regression.
Of 643 patients with relapses of multiple sclerosis, 15 percent reported
having been vaccinated during the preceding 12 months. The reports of 94
percent of these vaccinations were confirmed. Of all the patients, 2.3
percent had been vaccinated during the preceding two-month risk period
as compared with 2.8 to 4.0 percent who were vaccinated during one or
more of the four control periods.
Vaccination does not appear to increase the shortterm risk of relapse in multiple sclerosis.
American Academy of Pediatrics states that "most childhood vaccines are 90%
-99% effective in preventing disease." According to Shot@Life, a United Nations
Foundation partner organization, vaccines save 2.5 million children from
preventable diseases every year,which equates to roughly 285 children saved
every hour.
According to the CDC, all vaccines carry a risk of a life-threatening allergic
reaction (anaphylaxis) in about one per million children. The rotavirus vaccination
can cause intussusception, a type of bowel blockage that may require
hospitalization, in about one per 20,000 babies in the United States.
The CDC reports that pneumonia can be caused by the chickenpox vaccine, and a
"small possibility" exists that the flu vaccine could be associated with GuillainBarr Syndrome,

Herd immunity: general immunity to a pathogen in a
population based on the acquired immunity to it by a
high proportion of members over time.
Compulsory vaccination: If something is
compulsory, you must do it or accept it, because it
is the law or because someone in a position of
authority says you must. In this case, the forcing of
vaccinations upon individuals.
