I know many people cite the myth that vaccines are as dangerous as the disease themselves. This is just not correct, vaccines are among the safest medical products available…
Specific Purpose: To tell my listeners about three reasons why parents in the U.S. choose not to vaccinate their children…
I am impacted by this debate in many ways, but the main one being that my parents happen to be on opposite side when it comes to this topic. Before writing this essay I was for vaccines. Mainly because I believe that it is best to make sure you are ensuring you are taking the best care of yourself, and I think that vaccines help with that. My opinion is still relatively the same. Although I have read about some of the side effects and other arguments from those whom are against vaccines, I still believe that they are worth the potential risks. I think that they have caused a lot more good than harm and that's important to…
Vaccinating is a personal choice, but the issue of vaccination is of primary importance due to its direct impact on the quality and duration of the life of every citizen. When it comes to health there should be no gambling or speculation. Life is dangerous enough without risking what can be prevented. Vaccinations are for the greater good, protecting our present and…
My first point is that there are reasons we have vaccines. Vaccines can keep you healthy, keep you from a life or death situation, the diseases that vaccines prevent are normally expensive to care for once you get them, anyone around you is at risk of getting sick, vaccines are safe, the diseases they prevent aren’t gone, and they are important to your health. Without vaccines, many more illnesses would still be common and a lot more people would be sick. Things like polio, which have been wiped out in the United States, would still be around and still harming the nation.…
many parents today are delaying or refusing vaccines for their children. These parents have different controversies, such as negative side effects, learning disabilities, religious reasons, and forcing parents to vaccinate as well as other opinions. I believe it is important for children to receive vaccines. There are three main reasons why children should get vaccinated. The number one reason is that research shows that vaccinations are generally safe…
Certain things that we encounter in life, have hidden dangers, while others only look scary at first glance and turn out to be quite positive. It is because of these types of things that many people become confused when it comes to making life altering decisions, such as being vaccinated. While many think of vaccines as harmful and dangerous, they are in fact safe and essential for stopping the spread of life threatening diseases, and therefore should be mandatory.…
Approximately 50,000 adults die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases in the US.”(National Foundation For Infectious Diseases). It's insane that the death rate of preventable diseases is so high because with one shot those who have died could be living right now causing epidemics to still happen today. Epidemics need to be stopped and vaccines could do it over time.…
Although vaccinations have been around for 200 plus years, today in 2013 it is still a most controversial issue. Vaccine by definition is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine). The National Institute of Health says “in other words, vaccines trick your immune system to teach your body important lessons about how to defeat its opponents.” As effective as some may say vaccines are there has been a significant decrease in people actively getting vaccinations yearly.…
How would you feel if you harmed other people because you didn't take your vaccines? These are all reasons to get your vaccines. The sicknesses that you get vaccinated for can spread as easily as a cold and you can catch it as easily. You can feel good about taking these precautions because they have very little risk of you getting sick.…

Although a lot of people believe that vaccinations aren’t always the best thing to turn to and also believe that they make patients prone to the specific sickness, vaccine-preventable diseases haven’t gone away. In a time when people can travel across the world, it’s not hard to see how easy it is to contract diseases from all over the world. Vaccines are just as important to your health then just healthy foods such as a diet and exercise, but they can also mean the difference between life and death.…
The implementation of vaccinations in the U.S. has helped to eliminate many diseases. Vaccines can save a child’s life from disease such as measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, pertussis,…
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.…
