Informed Consent/Vaccines

The issue is that most Pediatricians are not giving the parents the full disclosure on vaccines that would be necessary for informed consent.

Informed consent means that participants/patients must be informed of the purpose of the study/procedure and it's potential for harm.

We think that informed consent should be necessary for childhood vaccinations.

So that they can make an informed decision, parents should research and learn about the vaccines benefits and possible side effects beforehand since the Doctors are not giving full disclosure on them.
