Introduction

      The topic of vaccinations has become more and more controversial in recent years.  Many conditions and issues are being blamed on the ingredients and outcomes of vaccines.  I would like to use this blog to discuss the validity of new information on the topic.  As a health care worker, I believe in vaccines.  I have seen first hand many of the diseases these vaccines prevent and know the severity to which they can affect a patient.  On the other hand, I'm also at the age when I have begun thinking about having a family myself, so I want to know the facts to support my pro vaccination argument.
     Working in the hospital setting, I hear a large amount of information from reliable sources like doctors and nurses who are pro vaccination.  The information that they share makes me wonder why anyone would question vaccines; however, many do.  With the popularity of social media sites, issues that we ourselves may have never thought of, become literally placed in front of our faces.  I want to explore if the information I have seen on the social media sites, discounting the need for vaccines is actually valid.  Through my research, I hope to get answers for myself as well as others; making me completely confident in any decision I make for my future family.
