Today on CNNHealth, we take a look at the anxieties and doubts some U.S. parents have about the frequency and quality of vaccines administered to children. The reluctance to vaccinate has been theorized to be one of the reasons behind a whooping cough outbreak in California, which claimed its 10th child victim today.
A Centers for Disease Control and Preventions committee on immunization practices is expected to meet next week. This committee makes recommendations for the routine vaccines for children and adults.
Some parents who've moved to this country from abroad say it feels as if the United States requires significantly more immunizations compared with other countries. Judging by the list below of scheduled immunizations, that's true for some countries, but not all. Here's a look at vaccine schedules around the world, based on information from the World Health Organization. To look up other countries, check out WHO's webpage.

Next time I read a blog, I hope that it won't fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I really believed you would have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could possibly fix if you weren't too busy seeking attention.

May I just say what a comfort to discover someone who actually understands what they are talking about over the internet. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people have to read this and understand this side of the story. It's surprising you are not more popular given that you surely have the gift.

IÃm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog thatÃs both equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I found this during my search for something regarding this.
