MMR Vaccine: Separating Fact from Fear.
In this episode, Dr. Tonya tackles one of the most common concerns from parents: Are vaccines safe for children? She breaks down the science behind vaccine safety, debunks the long-standing myth linking vaccines to autism, and explains how real research, covering millions of children, shows vaccines are both safe and essential. Dr. Tonya also highlights the flawed studies that fuel misinformation and provides trusted resources for parents to explore the facts. If you're a parent looking for clarity, consult with the pediatrician. This is the conversation you need.
The Mother Baby Daddy Podcast is hosted by Dr. Tonya Breaux-Shropshire, PhD, DNP, MPH, FNP-BC. Fun fact: According to the AACN, fewer than 1% of U.S. nurses hold a doctoral degree, with most having a DNP rather than a PhD. This highlights the rarity of both degrees, though DNPs are significantly more common than PhDs.
