Reflect on Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; a noble and common theme throughout various constitutions throughout the world and a staple in the constitution formed by the United States of America. Mandatory vaccinations are an invasion on the United States guaranteed constitutional rights as American citizens and in some cases can actually be more harmful to people than helpful (Walkinshaw, 2011). The harm that these mandates may cause is not strictly physical, but can also cause a strain or burden on company, government, educational facility, and the relationships of the individuals involved. Not all mandatory vaccinations are a terrible idea, however being forced to receive a vaccine that has no truly great value or benefit should carry no need for dictation.…
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…
One of the controversial/hot topics or issues nowadays in health care in the US and the world as a whole is vaccination. The main purpose of vaccines is to control and prevent communicable diseases.

The WHO continues to argue with evidence that vaccination can prevent death from pneumonia and diarrhea which are the leading cost of death among children under five years old. Although vaccination…

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…

One more reason why people should be vaccinated is because they should be able to go to school and not be kicked out because they don’t have their vaccines.…

The first vaccine was created in 1796, by 1969 mandatory immunization laws were in place in twelve states, and by 2014 50 states had their own regulatory requirements for school age children. Until recently parents understood that children were to receive vaccinations in order to attend public school and simply abided by this requirement, but this is no longer the case. Due to research, studies, and key opinion leaders speaking out against vaccines, parents are now faced with the difficult decision of whether to vaccinate their child or not. There is data supporting the eradication of , however many of these diseases have made an unfortunate comeback due to the decrease in vaccinations.

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…
