Throughout the practice of medicine‚ countless hours of research and billions of dollars in studies have concluded that vaccines have been found to be the most cost effective and prolific measure to save lives and money treating preventable diseases (Mandal‚ 2012).

Vaccines represent one of the great achievements in public health. A turning point in the war against pathogenic infection occurred over 200 years ago when Edward Jenner used cowpox to elicit protective immune responses against a devastating outbreak of smallpox. Since then‚ the use of safe and effective vaccines to prevent infection has become a fundamental aspect of modern medicine. While many vaccination campaigns have been successful‚ the constant emergence‚ and re-emergence‚ of pathogens challenges

to the vaccines themselves. Immunizations are safe and effective‚ yet many still question their importance and place in society. The purpose behind vaccinations is to create an environment where children are safe and free from disease.
