| |    Immunization Resources by Lynn Cates, M.D., F.A.A.P. reviewed by Laura Jana, M.D., F.A.A.P. You may be confused by the vast amount of information available about vaccines. As you set out to learn more about your child's immunizations, you should be aware that a lot of information in the press and on the Internet is not based on scientific evidence. If you are interested in getting trustworthy information about immunizations, you should start by consulting your healthcare provider. If you prefer to check out vaccines on your own, it is especially important that you look to reliable sources for your information. The following list is not complete by any means, but these sources can point you to others you can trust if you can't find the information you need.
