Scientists have studied them for a long time and found them to be safe..\u00a0The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology<\/a>\u00a0explains that for many years, scientists have known that aluminum in vaccines can activate different parts of the immune system, including ones that make IgE, a type of antibody. But there\u2019s no strong proof that vaccines in childhood cause long-lasting IgE levels that would lead to allergies.<\/p>\n

While an individual study or preprint might claim otherwise, comprehensive reviews have found no credible evidence linking aluminum in vaccines to an increased risk of allergic conditions<\/p>\n

Vaccines undergo a lot of safety testing before they are allowed to be used. The\u00a0CDC<\/a>\u00a0states that vaccines with aluminum are safe, and there is no good reason to believe they cause allergic diseases.<\/p>\n

People come into contact with\u00a0aluminum<\/a>\u00a0every day through food, water, and the air. The amount in vaccines is very much less than what we get from other sources.\u00a0The Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia<\/a>\u00a0emphasizes that the\u00a0small amount of aluminum in vaccines is not harmful to our health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
