The first pressing reason to vaccinate children is to prevent them from contracting diseases. It can hardly be argued that immunizations fail to protect the majority of children from getting the infection the immunization was designed to prevent. In the 18th century, for example, hundreds of thousands of Americans were infected by a crippling condition called polio. Polio was a terrible infection that caused sufferers to lose the use of their legs. Many had to walk with braces or crutches. Some lost the ability to walk and had to be placed in wheelchairs, while others were so disabled they became unable to engage in any physical activity, or even died of the condition. Polio was so prevalent it even affected American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Schnell 2)! Thanks to vaccinations, today polio is all but unheard of in the USA, and in other countries that immunize against it. This example alone should show the desirability of immunization. Who…

A vaccine is a substance used as a preventive inoculation to obtain immunity from a specific disease, commonly using an innocuous form of the disease as an inactive pathogen to stimulate antibody production.

I am personally against being required by the state to be injected with a vaccine, but vaccinations aren’t all bad. Some people think they are one of the world’s greatest science inventions. They have protected millions of Americans from deadly infections and diseases such as, influenza, pneumonia, and polio. Without a vaccination, you can endanger yourself, your family members, and coworkers. Plus, the chances of getting an allergic reaction to vaccinations are extremely rare.

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…
For my essay, I am going to discuss the benefits of mandatory immunizations as well as the guidelines to be followed for all children. I will get to use reasons and facts as well as using a simple to complex approach. The benefits of vaccinations outweigh the risks of not getting the vaccinations. Some disease that can be contracted from not being vaccinated can become deadly. In addition, studies have shown there has been a lower rate of disease outbreaks from children that were properly immunized as well as adults that had received all their vaccinations as a younger child.…
I believe that everyone should be up to date on vaccinations. One reason I believe everyone should be vaccinated is because others do not get sick. Another reason is that the person who is not vaccinated doesn’t get sick and having to go to the hospital. 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.…
State governments are the ones who determine which vaccinations are mandatory for school attendance. The federal government plays a key role in vaccination as well. The federal government regulates the safety and effectiveness of all vaccines by testing them. A new vaccine must first be tested on animals then it must be filed s a New Drug Application (Balding 103-110).…
Vaccines save lives. I believe that and so do the majority of people. Vaccines prevent diseases that are easily spread. The more people who are vaccinated the better it is for those who really cannot be vaccinated because of herd immunity. There are no reasons not to vaccinate but many reasons to vaccinate. Unless there is a documented medical reason, all people should be vaccinated so that there is less disease spread and so we can protect those who are unable to protect themselves.…
