You have likely heard about the explosion in vaccines and vaccine dosages for kids, right?
Although it is easy to see that today’s counts are inflated to scare folks, it is a little harder to figure out about the good old days, when folks still got measles, mumps, Hib, hepatitis B and meningococcemia.
Did they get 2 vaccines or 5 vaccines or what?
How Many Vaccines Did Kids Get in the 1960s? Well, maybe it isn’t that hard to figure out…

And all of the propaganda they put out trying to scare folks into thinking kids get so many more vaccines than they used too.
