72 dose Childhood Vaccine Schedule
My request:
- All studies and clinical information on the long term effect of our current childhood vaccination schedule.
​
I had originally made this request with the FDA. When I was contacted about my FOIA requests (June 17th 2019), the woman I spoke with (who I wont name for privacy) told me since the CDC makes the vaccine schedule, the CDC will have the records Im looking for. She said the FDA did not have these records. She then asked me if Id want a formal document from the FDA saying they do not have the records I asked for. I told her that would be great and I'd really appreciate it. That document will be uploaded to this page when I receive it.

CDC response:
Download the PDF of the formal letter from the CDC saying while the "CDC does make the final decisions regarding the vaccine schedule", the "CDC does not perform trials, clinical evaluations, or tests on vaccines."

(information blacked out is my personal name and address as thats whats needed to make the request)
FDA Response:
I made this request with the FDA back on June 5th 2019. 4 months later and a paper response has finally been received. I've been told multiple times on the phone by different FDA agents, that the FDA had no records on testing of the childhood vaccine schedule as a whole. However the FDA did not want to say that, and compared to the CDC, as told by one person have "their hands tied more".
​
The request was sent to their consumers branch to answer. While a vague response, they mention both requests made and provide what they do have- which is not anything even partially related to a long term safety study on the 72 dose schedule.
​
In the top FDA document I have compiled, both requests to clarify what was asked for, emails between myself and the FDA, and the final response.
​
For the lack of transparency and lack of a real formal response from the FDA, I have contacted public liaison and the Office of Government Information Services.
