Brainworm said kids receive up to 92 vaccine doses. How many do they really get?

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said at a Senate hearing on Thursday that children receive up to 92 vaccine doses in early childhood "in order to be fully compliant between maternity and 18 years."

But doctors tell ABC News that that number isn't accurate. Excluding annual flu and COVID-19 shots, children generally receive roughly 30 vaccine doses – many in combined injections – before the age of 18

Combination vaccines are single shots that include two or more vaccines that might otherwise be given separately: the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is a common example. This reduces the number of shots children get while protecting them from the same number of infectious diseases.

Additionally, vaccines given today contain far fewer antigens – that is, substances that trigger an immune response in the body – than vaccines did decades ago. Research has shown these vaccines are safe and effective and do not overwhelm the immune system, as Kennedy has previously suggested.
