It’s hard to imagine the AAP doesn’t understand that vaccines pulled from the market due to safety concerns certainly aren’t (and weren’t) “safe and effective” for all. These withdrawn vaccines include the oral polio vaccine; Rotashield-brand rotavirus vaccine for diarrhea; plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine; DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) vaccine; and several flu shots. Also pulled for safety reasons: versions of vaccines for DTaP; measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); haemophilus influenzae; Lyme disease; and rabies.
