Fact Check: Are children getting 70 to 90 vaccine shots that cause immune and neurological problems?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.

Claimant: Stephen Miller (R)

Claim: Children are getting “70 to 90 shots,” causing vaccine injuries, immunological issues and potentially neurological issues.

Rating: MISLEADING

Explanation: Miller overstated the number of childhood vaccine doses. The CDC schedule through age 6 includes about 30 maximum doses, and research does not show that receiving multiple recommended vaccines weakens children’s immune systems.
