Do vaccines cause asthma?

Question

My baby is due for some vaccinations next month, and I heard from a neighbour that vaccines might cause asthma. I'm a bit worried now; do vaccines cause asthma in children?

I was reading some articles about childhood vaccinations and got a bit confused. Do standard pediatric vaccines really have any link to breathing issues, or is that just a myth?

I totally understand how stressful it is to read these claims online when you want to make the safest choice. Please don't worry; scientific studies have thoroughly disproved any link between vaccines and asthma.

I've been feeling a bit worried about getting my toddler vaccinated because of things I read on social media. Did anyone else feel this anxiety before their child's shots, and did your doctor reassure you?

My son has mild asthma and we vaccinate him regularly every year, including the flu shot. It has actually helped prevent severe chest infections, so please don't skip them out of fear.

Hi there! Extensive clinical research shows absolutely no connection between vaccines and developing asthma. Vaccines actually protect vulnerable children from respiratory infections that can trigger asthma attacks.

Aman Preet · Answer

No way, bro. I've had asthma since childhood and got all my vaccines on time; they never made my breathing worse. Don't believe those random forward messages.
