Rita Mira: We need to get to what science says about false news about childhood vaccinations – Jornal da Chapada

Despite the successful vaccination of children aged 5-11 years in Brazil, many parents still have insecurities regarding vaccination in their children, fearing possible adverse reactions.

However, according to the medical coordinator for the children’s sector at Santa Isabel Hospital, Rita Mira, the vaccines are indeed safe and cause few — and negligible — side effects. The problem, in fact, according to the specialist, is fake news that officials can access and end up taking those concerns to the doctor’s office.

“Parents’ biggest suspicions come from fake news that contributes nothing. We need to get access to the real news, to what the science says. The ideal solution is to read articles and news from trusted sites, sources that can investigate the truth. The most common side effects are three: Headache, localization and fever, which are part of the normal process in any vaccine,” she said, in an interview with Portal M! Editor-in-Chief, Osvaldo Lyra, on Nova Brasil FM Radio, Tuesday morning (25).

“The hope is that we can achieve our goal, which is to vaccinate as many as possible when the study begins. Parents have concerns and questions, and this is legitimate, but the two vaccines were launched by those who certify the validity of the vaccines. He added that he is more than confident that the vaccine is the way and we Children also need to be vaccinated. Write for a lot of information.
