It's been used in some vaccines for over 75 years. And years of research has found no evidence that it causes chronic health problems. Without aluminum, vaccines would not work as well and kids would be less protected from disease!

In fact, most aluminum from vaccines leaves our bodies very quickly, and the remaining amount does not build up to dangerous levels. Aluminum in vaccines helps create a stronger immune response, so we need fewer doses.

Aluminum may sound scary, but it's actually the most common metal found in nature. It's found in air, water, soil, and breast milk. The amount of aluminum in vaccines is very small compared to what we encounter every day. It isn't dangerous.

Both use the same natural tools in the body's immune system toolbox, but vaccines offer a safer pathway to immunity from diseases--without the risks that come from getting sick!

Respiratory viruses like flu, COVID-19, and RSV, tend to circulate in the fall and winter, which is why now is the perfect time to get vaccines that protect against them.

That's why it's important to keep vaccinating. If we let up, we could see a resurgence in a disease that once paralyzed 15,000 people in the U.S. each year.

Global polio vaccination campaigns have worked so well that cases have declined by over 99%, and just two countries still see wild polio spread. But, until polio is eradicated fully, the disease will remain just a plane ride away.

Respiratory viruses like flu, COVID-19, and RSV, circulate in the fall and winter, so now is the perfect time to get vaccinated against them!

In the latest Team Vaccine blog post, we break down each of these viruses and the vaccines that protect against them. Read the post ➡️ buff.ly/d3j4Ukc

The good news? Everyone 6 months and older can get an updated vaccine this fall! The COVID vaccine lowers your chance of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.

It's not possible for the components of the vaccine to enter the nucleus of our cells, and therefore it can't change our DNA.

mRNA vaccines work by prompting our cells to create a spike protein that teaches the immune system to create antibodies. These fight off future COVID virus if it enters the body. Once this process is done, our cells break down the mRNA and expel it.

👶 If you can't get the vaccine, your baby can get an antibody shot during their first RSV season to protect them during their first RSV season.

⏰ Pregnant people should get an RSV vaccine between 32 - 36 weeks pregnant, and only need to be vaccinated once (not in future pregnancies).
🛡️ The vaccine provides immediate protection to newborns if it's given at least 14 days prior to birth.

There is no need for children today to suffer from preventable diseases. Both natural immunity and immunity from vaccines provide protection, but getting sick or putting others in danger just isn’t worth the risk.
