According to Gardner, the top 8 reasons are: the severe allergic reaction to a previous vaccine (i.e. allergic reaction that almost never happen but can happen such as hives, difficulty breathing, or low blood pressure and common side effects), egg allergy (e.g. flu shots and measles virus), high fever, asthma or lung conditions (i.e. might cause asthma flare), high-dose steroids (e.g. corticosteroid medication), immunodeficiency or chemotherapy, HIV-positive, and someone at home is sick. Parents are concerns about the safety of the vaccines because it causes side effects (e.g. soreness, redness, swelling in the area of the shot or low grade…
As a parent my main concern is my childrens health. There has been an increased interest in vaccine safety over the past decade as opposed to the 1980’s. There has been many successful results from vaccines. The introduction and widespread use of vaccines have profoundly affected the occurrence of several infectious diseases. For example smallpox has been eliminated with the last naturally occurring case in 1977, and the vaccination against smallpox stopped. Poliomyelitis is another disease near elimination with a the last case occurring in 1979. Vaccinating your children and yourself is important, because of the existing continuous threats of…

Although vaccination has proved to be an effective measure in preventing disease, controversies remain over whether the risks of side effects of vaccinations outweigh the risk of contracting the disease. Vaccination is the process when pathogenic cells are injected into the cells of a healthy person so that the body develops immunity through antibodies to that virus or bacterium. The U.S Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children get 16 vaccines including Diphtheria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae, influenza, human papillomavirus, measles, meningococcal, mumps, pertussis, pneumococcal, polio, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, and varicella (Merino 7-8). Vaccines, along with an acute amount of the disease…

The chances of your child getting a case of measles or chickenpox or whooping cough might be quite low today. But vaccinations are not just for protecting ourselves, and are not just for today. They also protect the people around us like some of whom may be unable to get certain vaccines, or might have failed to respond to a vaccine, or might be susceptible for other reasons. Vaccines also protect our children’s children and their children by keeping diseases that we have almost defeated from making a comeback. It is important to continue immunizing, even if cases of diseases are rare. If one or two cases of disease are introduced into a community where most people are not vaccinated, outbreaks will occur. In 2013, for example, several measles…
