Abstract:
The anti-vaccination campaign has been around for centuries, although always present, in
recent history, there has been an uptick in interest. This interest is based on the spread of
misunderstanding and misinformation with social media platforms acting as the catalyst for their
campaign. To combat the spread, the promotion of sound scientific literature is vital. This
document provides succinct information on all vaccines currently recommended by the Center
for Disease Control and Prevention as of Spring 2020. All of the information provided comes
from scientific literature and trusted governmental medical authorities. To collect this
information, an in-depth literature search was performed in databases including Web of Science,
PubMed, and JSTOR; this information was then broken down into a more succinct and readable
format. The purpose of this document is to provide credible information to those faced with the
decision to vaccinate their child and to provide them with information so they can confidently
make that decision.
