With the autism-vaccine controversy playing a major role as to whether parents decide to have a child vaccinated, Dr. Mark Sawyer, medical director of the UCSD San Diego Immunization Partnership, discusses the safety of the vaccinations and the 2010 whooping cough outbreak in California
Upon saying that vaccinations was one of the greatest advancements ever made, Dr. Sawyer replied, "In fact, the surgeon general at the end of the 20th century made that statement.
