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.
<span>If a child’s parent still refuses to
have them vaccinated<span> 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. </span></span>
<span>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.</span>
