In today’s society, many parents argue that vaccines are very harmful for their children and don’t want their children getting vaccinated. This is a huge problem as if the children are not vaccinated it is clear that they are now vulnerable to having diseases such as polio.
One of the main reasons as to why some parents don’t want their children vaccinated is because they claim that it causes autism. However, studies have shown no links between getting vaccines and developing autism. Alongside this, parents also fear that it is dangerous for babies to get so many vaccines at one time. Nevertheless they are not aware of the fact that there are actually no reliable scientific evidence that shows that vaccines seemingly ‘’overload’’ babies immune systems.
If a child’s parent still refuses to have them vaccinated then if the child gets sick with a preventable disease, there are still several people he may infect beyond non-vaccinated classmates. The children that are not vaccinated may also infect babies that haven't yet been scheduled to receive their vaccines. A study from 2011 shows that where the states that had more lenient policies on vaccinations had 90 percent more cases of the whooping cough than more stricter states. This conveys where kids are not vaccinated, the more people get sick.
In conclusion, Parents should get children vaccinated for every disease for which they are offered vaccination - by not they are putting the child at risk of getting illness and then that may lead to serious consequences, including death.
