document.write('<br />It has been almost a year since scientists announced that they had seen -- and videotaped -- an ivory-billed woodpecker in Arkansas. The famous bird was not extinct as widely believed, they said. Since then, searchers have raised millions of dollars to confirm the discovery, and millions more to protect the forests and swamps where the bird was seen. But skepticism is growing. Some experts say the video doesn&#039;t show an ivory-billed woodpecker at all, but a common cousin of the bird.');

CONCLUSIONS. Rigorous scientific studies have not identified links between autism and either thimerosal-containing vaccine or the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Nurses are often in the position of providing advice regarding vaccines in their formal practice areas as well as in their daily lives. Families need current and credible evidence to make decisions for their children. Excellent vaccine information resources are available online.');

document.write('<br />Whether this season’s swine flu turns out to be deadly or mild, most experts agree that it’s only a matter of time before we’re hit by a truly devastating flu pandemic—one that might kill more people worldwide than have died of the plague and AIDS combined. In the U.S., the main lines of defense are pharmaceutical—vaccines and antiviral drugs to limit the spread of flu and prevent people from dying from it. Yet now some flu experts are challenging the medical orthodoxy and arguing that for those most in need of protection, flu shots and antiviral drugs may provide little to none. So where does that leave us if a bad pandemic strikes?');
