Vaccine information (vaccine.chop.edu) — The VEC’s main website includes information about vaccines and the diseases the prevent; vaccine safety, including ingredients; vaccine science and history; the vaccine schedule; and the human immune system.Parents PACK website —This is our program for the public. We are pleased to share that the redesigned Parents PACK website now includes an“Evaluating information” section — where we have gathered many resources for checking information and learning how scientific knowledge evolves.
