There are few topics of parental decision making that generate more angst than vaccines; and this fall the decision about whether we should give our children not just one, but three flu shots has generated much discussion on the ES email list.
Even if you are inclined towards vaccines generally, this set of six videos raises important issues for parents.
The most interesting piece of new information (and there is a LOT of new information here) is that the WHO changed the definition of “pandemic” in the spring of this year (see video 2 or 3). It used to include the idea of mortality. Now it only means that people get sick, with no indication of mortality.
The rest of the set of six is available here.
