Why this site?

This site was created for the project of epidemiology coordinated by Mr. Antoine Flahault, professor within the Faculty of Medicine of Saint-Antoine. The purpose of the site is to treat the bases of vaccination on man. I tried through this site to expose information which appeared to me most interesting and I hope that this web site will be useful for the people who will consult it.

Each year, 1.7 million children die from diseases that could have been prevented with readily available vaccines. Vaccination makes it possible to save millions of children and to protect our elders from the influenza. However, of the voices rise today to call into question its benefit. Reserves partly responsible for the stagnation of the vaccine cover in France.

Every girl and boy needs to be immunized. And pregnant women need to be immunized to protect themselves and their infants from tetanus.

It is essential that all parents know why, when, where and how many times the child should be immunized. Parents also need to know that it is safe to immunize the child even if the child has an illness or a disability or is suffering from malnutrition.
