1960s

In the past, children received more vaccine doses containing a higher number of antigens than they do today, yet were still exposed to more diseases. The claim that children now receive a significantly higher number of vaccines is false, as historical evidence shows they actually received more doses in the 1950s and 1960s. The gradual addition of new vaccines occurred over many years and is not indicative of a sudden increase. Overall, vaccines are safe, have minimal risks, and are crucial for disease prevention.
