Do you believe vaccines are tested enough before they are recommended to use? If not, how should vaccines should be tested before they are exposed to the public?

Yes, I believe that vaccines are safe and effective and are tested enough before they are recommended for practical use. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, every licensed and recommended vaccines go through years of safety testing procedures including a clinical trial. Vaccines are tested on people who volunteer to get vaccinated, and FDA uses the information from these tests to decide whether to test the vaccine with people. Clinical trials usually start with 20 to 100 people, but the sample ends up to include thousands of people. Because vaccines are given to millions of healthy people — including children — to prevent serious diseases, I believe they are and should be held to very high safety standards.
