Unsubstantiated scares regarding immunisation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vaccine controversies have occurred since almost 80 years before the terms vaccine and vaccination were introduced. Despite overwhelming scientific consensus[1][2][3] that vaccines are safe and effective,[4] unsubstantiated scares regarding their safety still occur, resulting in outbreaks and deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases.[5][6][7][8][9][10] Another source of controversy is whether mandatory vaccination violates civil liberties or reduces public trust in vaccination.[7][11][12]
