As a parent, it’s understandable to want to learn about what’s in vaccines. But as you research, you might come across misleading claims about vaccine ingredients.

Antigens, for example, are a key ingredient in vaccines that help children’s immune systems learn to respond to viruses. Your children encounter antigens in many places they visit each day, including playgrounds. In fact, children can come in contact with up to 6,000 antigens each day.

If you have any additional questions about vaccines and their ingredients, talk with your pediatrician or click the link below.

Ways to help
- Limit liquids before bedtime
- Encourage going to the bathroom right before bed
- Avoid punishing for accidents
- Paise the child for dry morning
- Setting a timer to wake up and go to the bathroom at night
- Can also try buzzer or alarms

Often taking with a child or adolescent psychiatrist or therapist can help minimize the emotional impact of this.

IPV (inactivated polio vaccine) was creased by Jonas Salk (US Physician) and licensed on April 12, 1955. It is the only type of vaccine available in the US and is given as a series of 4 doses.

By 1957, we started to see a drop in annual cases.
By 1961, we were down to only 161 cases worldwide.
Although polio was eliminated from the US in 1979, we do see sporadic cases therefore it is still very important to vaccinate.

Source: CDC, WHO, polioeradication.org
We follow evidence-based medicine and vaccinate in accordance to the CDC, AAP, and ACIP.
