What's New
New updates and improvements to VaxCalc app
Added real-time map to show how many pertussis cases per state
New
If you watch the news, you've heard these numbers. Over and over again.
500% rise! 😱 Decade high level! 📈 Skyrocketing cases!
Your doctor insists: "it's because parents aren't vaccinating their kids!"
Without real data, it’s easy to make decisions based on fear rather than facts. That’s where VaxCalc comes in.
VaxCalc’s real-time maps show how many pertussis cases are in YOUR state, putting the media’s shocking headlines into perspective.
Here’s the truth:
- Yes, 35,493 cases were reported in 2024, but…
- There are only 133 active cases in the U.S. right now (population: 330 million).
- And just 10 cases in my state of Virginia (population: 7 million).
👉 Discover the truth here.
Don't let your pediatrician manipulate you with fear and fake numbers.

Fixed Vax Plan blow up bug
Fix
Some ingredients with amounts that include "," in the data were causing numbers like "9,000" to converted to "000" instead of to 9000. We removed the "," before translating from a string to a number value. This mistranslation caused a few other mistranslations.
Added VERO cell research
New
A deep dive into some fairly complex research along with hard to find documentation from the FDA.
