Bangalow NSW, 20 April, 2012 -

The Australian Vaccination Network's President, Meryl Dorey, has recently participated in an interview which will air for two months on all American Airlines domestic and international flights for the months of July and August, 2012.

This interview will cover the following issues:

• the recent world-wide epidemic of whooping cough despite continuing high levels of vaccination;
• the meteoric rise in autism from 1 child in 10,000 only 20 years ago to 1 in 88 today with vaccinations being implicated as one of the causes; and
• what steps parents can take to become fully informed about this issue before having their children vaccinated.

"Over 8.4 million people on 58,000 flights will be able to hear this interview which is being aired on American Airlines' "Executive Report"," says Meryl Dorey. "It will also be published in the Airlines' American Way in-flight magazine over this period.

"We hope that this will make listeners aware of just some of the issues surrounding the vaccination debate and encourage them to ask questions and become better informed about this vital subject.

"As always, we believe that an informed healthcare consumer is the best final outcome and that no medical procedure should ever be made compulsory since no medical procedure is without risk."
