Important Vaccinations Recommendations - PPMD Community

Important Vaccinations Recommendations - PPMD Community: "Vaccinations are very, very important to protect us against infection and disease – but they are also very, very confusing. 
Some vaccines are “live,” some are “attenuated (killed),” some protect against viral infections, some protect against bacterial infections, some are given only in childhood, some need a “booster” later in life, some are only given later in life…. Adding Duchenne – medications, pulmonary, and cardiac function – to the picture adds even more confusion.
 
In order to answer the regularly asked questions, “to give or not to give, when to give, how to give and what to give,” we have teamed up with the Center for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (CDMD) at UCLA to provide the following recommendations. A huge “thank you!” to Drs. Stan Nelson, Paul Krogstad, and Carrie Miceli, (UCLA) for their contributions in developing this document.
