She states her fear of autism related to the MMR and also that “it is not good for the immune system to receive that many vaccines at the same time”. Based on evidence-based research focusing on this mom’s concerns, including myths and facts, discuss the benefits childhood immunizations. Develop a teaching plan how you would present the information to this mom. Include in-text citations and references. Requirements – apa, 2 references, 300 words.
