I do believe the testing that is done is adequate for what we are able to do today, in 2006. Testing is fine-tuned continuously and refined as advances are made in science. Again, all we can do is trust our abilities and data today.
I've been practicing pediatrics for 15 years and have not seen more than mild problems with the current immunizations. In the past, however, there were problems with some vaccinations. It's a process like everything in life and we all have to constantly reevaluate what is best for our own kids and society.
As more information comes in my inbox on immunization safety, I will publish here for you to review for yourself. Nothing new in a while but I'm keeping my eyes out.
Best,
