Launch of VaxFacts.info

In a significant move to combat health misinformation, the Pediatric Associates Family of Companies (PAFC) has officially launched VaxFacts.info, an online platform offering evidence-based vaccine information tailored for families. As the largest pediatric healthcare organization in the United States, PAFC aims to empower parents by addressing their queries and concerns regarding vaccines in a clear and compassionate manner.

Addressing Parental Concerns

Dr. Rocky Slonaker, Chief Medical Officer at PAFC, emphasizes that it is natural for parents to have questions about vaccinations. In an age where finding accurate information can be challenging due to the sheer volume of content online, VaxFacts.info stands as a beacon of reliability. The resource was developed by a network of pediatricians who collectively care for over 1.6 million patients across the nation.

The platform seeks to:

• - Offer evidence-based explanations about the mechanisms and importance of vaccines.
• - Provide detailed insights into the recommended vaccination schedule.
• - Address common parental questions with scientifically-backed answers.
• - Highlight the historical context of vaccines, underscoring their crucial role in public health.
• - Prepare families for the vaccination process, including expectations before, during, and after receiving vaccines.

A Legacy of Health

The site also sheds light on the sobering reality of pre-vaccine America, where the mortality rate among children under five was alarmingly high due to diseases that are now preventable. Dr. Slonaker notes, "Before widespread vaccination, nearly 20% of children did not reach their fifth birthday owing to infectious diseases. Thanks to vaccines, we now see a significant reduction in illnesses such as polio, measles, and whooping cough in our country."

The pediatricians at PAFC not only advocate for vaccinations in their patients but also follow the recommended vaccine schedule for their own families. This reflects their belief that parents deserve access to the same trustworthy information that informs their medical guidance.

Guidance from Experts

The vaccination schedule featured on VaxFacts.info is developed by leading medical experts and updated annually to provide the best protection possible at the earliest ages. This schedule is endorsed by prominent organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

VaxFacts.info is a valuable, no-cost resource available to all families seeking reliable information on vaccinations, irrespective of whether they are patients of PAFC.
