The National
Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is dedicated to the prevention
of vaccine injuries and deaths through public education.
NVIC provides
assistance to parents whose children have suffered vaccine
reactions; promotes research to evaluate vaccine safety and
effectiveness as well as to identify factors which place
individuals at high risk for suffering vaccine reactions; and
monitors vaccine research, development, policy-making and
legislation.
NVIC supports
the right of citizens to exercise informed consent and make
educated, independent vaccination decisions for themselves and
their children.
