• how common or rare, as well as how serious, each disease is
• how each vaccine is made and what its ingredients are
• which ingredients are potentially controversial
• which brands and types of vaccines are safest
• what each vaccine's side effects might be and how likely they are to occur
• how to recognize, treat, and prevent vaccine side effects
• how to tailor your child's shot schedule to minimize risks and satisfy state requirements
