We receive, from childhood, a little less than ten vaccines different. Without counting those which can be prescribed to us, during a trip abroad for example. However, is there a risk in being over-vaccinated?
Short-term vaccinations: a risk of antibody overproduction
It is not so much the number of vaccines received that matters, but the time between injections. After two vaccinations close together, there may be a risk of overproduction ofantibody. However, the latter can be at the origin of local effects, such as edema at the injection site.
Vaccinations and allergies: what is the link?
Some allergists raise the possibility that an excess of vaccinations is responsible for triggering certain allergies in children. This theory is based on the fact that the immune system, unsolicited by nature, would react more to food or environmental allergens. No study for the time being supports this thesis.
