Vaccines contain very small amounts of aluminum, which is used to help your child’s immune system respond more effectively. But here’s the thing - there’s actually more aluminum in food, breastmilk, and formula than in vaccines! According to experts from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), the amount of aluminum in vaccines is so small that the body can easily process and eliminate it. And since aluminum is naturally present in our environment, we are all exposed to it daily. Vaccines are one of the safest ways to protect your child from serious diseases, and we strongly recommend them. If you ever have concerns or questions about your child’s vaccines, don’t hesitate to ask your pediatrician! We’re here to help and ensure your little one stays safe and healthy. 🌟
