Why Do Babies Get So Many Vaccines?

One viewer writes, “Children receive 72 vaccines between birth and age 18 and that’s just sickening! And there is NO reason a newborn needs the Hep B vaccine.” ER physician Dr. Travis Stork shares this is an important thing to address for parents – why do we receive so many, so early. Infectious disease expert Dr. Ravina Kullar shares that we actually receive 13 vaccines to fight 16 diseases between birth and age 18, and we’re so lucky to be able to have resources to fight them off.
