Is it true that childhood vaccines stunt babies' growth?
Unclear. Three retrieved items touch on vaccines and childhood growth, but only indirectly: one cross-sectional study compares anthropometric indices by vaccination status without reporting results in the excerpt, and two reviews associate enteric infections—not vaccines—with growth harm. None directly measures whether childhood vaccines stunt babies' growth.
