In child development, timing matters when it comes to immunization. Just like kids have developmental stages, their immune systems have stages, too, and vaccines work best when their bodies are ready to respond.

Pediatricians do not profit off vaccines. In fact, most pediatricians either break even or even lose money when they offer vaccines. Misleading parents about doctors' motivations puts children's health at risk and sows distrust in lifesaving vaccinations.
