Document Summary
The only vaccine-preventable disease eliminated is smallpox. Polio is the vaccine-preventable disease that is close to elimination. The mmr has been criticized to cause autism by a false study by a physician proven to not cause autism. It resulted in an increased incidence of measles, mumps, and rubella in the uk, ireland, and. Valid scientific studies fail to demonstrate any association between autism and mmr vaccine. The physician was paid by the parents and lawyer to say this. The number of vaccines a baby can receive on the same time depends on the sites where the vaccines are given, not on the vaccine itself. You can give a baby 6 vaccines and 1 oral vaccine. Immunizations have saved more lives than anything else public health has achieved. Except for water, no other modality (not even antibiotics) has had such a major effect on mortality reduction and population growth.
