Risk Of Vaccination Research Paper

A risk of not being vaccinated or refusing to vaccinate your child is the possibility of contracting harmful vaccine-preventable diseases.Diseases like the measles, smallpox, chickenpox and almost all vaccine-preventable diseases are easily spread from one person to another.According to M.D Matthew M. Davis “When children are unvaccinated or undervaccinated (in other words, they have not received all of the recommended doses of vaccines for their age), they are at greater risk for getting sick with diseases that can be prevented through timely immunization. When a child becomes seriously ill, needs to be hospitalized, or even dies from diseases such as measles, pertussis and influenza that can be prevented with effective and safe vaccines,
Now Most vaccine-preventable diseases are rare in the United States due to vaccinations, but they do still exist and affect people in other countries that can be easily brought to the United States, and all it would take for a harmful vaccine-preventable disease to come to the Unite States is an infected person from another country to come here or an unvaccinated person to go to another country and come back.That’s how the 2008 measles outbreak occurred in California, an unvaccinated child went to Sweden on vacation with their parents and contracted the disease and came back to the United States and got other children sick. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 90% of measles cases in the United States in 2011 were brought from someone from a foreign country.According to Dr.Jason McDonald "If you are unvaccinated and you come in contact with measles, there's a 90% chance you will get it,".When adults and children have not been vaccinated diseases spread more easily and rapidly in an environment, so everyone should be protected from these diseases just in case this happens and to prevent another possible mass epidemic from
