This means children need fewer doses to get full protection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccine-safety\/about\/adjuvants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research<\/a>\u00a0has shown over and over that the tiny amount of aluminum in vaccines is far below levels that could be harmful. Our bodies already handle small amounts of aluminum because it\u2019s naturally found in food, water, and even some medicines.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the aluminum from vaccines l<a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapediatrics\/fullarticle\/1712578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eaves the body<\/a>\u00a0quickly through the kidneys.

Vaccines save millions of lives every year, and their benefits are much greater than the very small and disproven risks sometimes claimed.<\/p>\n<p>A recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/10.7326\/ANNALS-25-00997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study from Denmark<\/a>\u00a0looked at the health of more than 1.2 million children over many years. The researchers checked for long-term problems like asthma, autism, and other ongoing illnesses. Because the study was so large and carefully done, it gives very strong evidence that aluminum in vaccines does not cause chronic health problems in children.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aluminum in vaccines doesn\u2019t build up or harm kids.
