The 'jewel in the crown' of modern medicine?
Vaccination is often lauded as the reason many diseases – such as polio, measles and diptheria – have been largely eradicated from the western world.
Increasingly, however, both doctors and the general public are starting to question their value.
We all know the mantra that vaccines are safe and effective.
So, why the change of heart?
Let’s take a closer look.

What now?
Vaccines have been put under a spotlight, and the very concept of vaccination is now being questioned by many. (For some, there are further questions to be asked about virology and contagion, but that is not our focus at Informing Consent.)
The team at Informing Consent is digging deeper into each of the childhood vaccines – one at a time. We'll share what we find, such as:
- the health conditions that vaccines have been produced for
- vaccine ingredients – what exactly is in each vaccine vial?
- patient information leaflets
- vaccine trials and their results
- data on safety and efficacy
Plus anything else that we think is relevant to informed consent.
