I believe that some people cannot receive vaccines, but a reason people do get them is to help prevent disease from spreading.

Vaccines as a hole keep the majority of us healthy, if more and more people stop getting vaccines, then the diseases will run rampant again. And for the people with health issues that can't get vaccines, they rely on the rest of us to have them and not spread the diseases.

It is important for the majority of people to be immunized. Those who are not immunized run the risk of catching one or more of the many diseases. If you're not immunized you're not protected. Those who cannot get Vaccines because of cancer or a week immune system are somewhat protected as long as others around them have their vaccinations

vaccination is very important now a day because of several reasons. first of the all it prevents from death. Vaccination can prevent a person specially children who are weaker to not get the disease and even if they get it, it's not hard on their body. vaccination would help other children as well. because when one child is not sick others don't get them as well. In general it's very important to be up to dates with vaccination

The more people that are vaccinated, the more protected we are as a society in warding off vaccine preventable diseases.
If the disease is not vaccinated, the recurrence and outbreak rate of the disease will be high. And it affects the group.

Susanne

4/5/2018 07:56:39 am

It is important to get vaccinations because there is many diseases out there that can infect a large group quickly which creates serious illness and possible deaths. These diseases can be controlled through vaccines, if most of the population is protected the few who don't or cannot through health reasons stand a better chance in not contracting the contagious diseases.

Jessica

destin

vaccines are important to prevent diseases that affect a large group of people. Without vaccines, theses diseases could potentially resurface from their astronomically low numbers. I've also learned that with more people vaccinated the stronger the herd immunity to assist those with weak immune systems who aren't able to receive vaccines.

Chelsea Saunders

4/18/2018 03:53:02 pm

Vaccines are important because they protect people from diseases that are easily spread and can have life long impact on people. Not being vaccinated can lead to people with weakened immune system to getting sick when herd immunity is low.

Natalie Lombard

Vaccinations are important to reduce the spread of disease. If a majority of people are vaccinated then it will reduce the spread of disease even to people who cannot receive vaccinations. Not receiving vaccinations may lead to the spread of disease.

Eilonwy Shugars

4/21/2018 10:20:36 pm

Vaccinations are important to reduce the spread of disease. However they only work to protect the community if the majority is vaccinated. Of course there are some specific reasons for people not to get vaccinated, but if the not enough people get vaccinated, this can ruin the herd immunity.

Manolita

4/22/2018 05:44:23 pm

Vaccination is important to protect us from death and if we survived from disabilities. When more people in the community are vaccinated it creates herd immunity that can likely protect those who cannot be vaccinated like people who suffer from cancer. All these are communicable diseases so these will spread and create epidemic if there are many people in the community who are not vaccinated.

Laura Dyer

Vaccination protect from fatal illness like smallpox, malaria, chickenpox etc., before 200 years ago about 9 million people were affected by some fatal diseases. But now people know the importance of vaccination.

Sara Tebeau

7/27/2018 01:24:25 pm

Vaccination is important to create herd immunity and has historically eradicated some diseases. Folks with diseases that weaken their immune systems often aren't able to get vaccinated, so it is important that we vaccinate ourselves if we are healthy to protect others. Some diseases that used to be eradicated have come back because some people have chosen not to vaccinate their children, which has had deadly consequences.

Kalindi

Vaccination is important in society, it keeps society safe from different diseases like small pox, tetanus, fever, cough, polio, and measles. This is called herd immunity. Some members of society can't safely receive vaccine, but the majority of people takes vaccine and it helps the society keep safe from all diseases. The chances would be less to spared diseases after taking vaccination.

Vaccinations help to prevent serious diseases. When most of the population is vaccinated, the result is herd immunity which serves to protect those who cannot be vaccinated due to contraindications.

Gia D Parsons

9/29/2018 05:10:03 pm

Although I understand parents want choice when it comes to making decisions for their children, if that child is in contact with the public then vaccination is necessary because for the greater good, we need to protect everyone from communicable diseases.

Lynn

McKenna

Chantel

Vaccines are important to prevent some of the vaccine preventable diseases. Vaccines are also important to increase herd immunity and protect those people who cannot take vaccines due to their low immunity levels related to their health condition.
Avoiding vaccines may start an out break of some diseases that could have been easily prevented by vaccines and will risk the lives of terminally I'll patients who cannot get vaccines.

Kassia

Vaccines are important because they help diseases that have been eradicated continue to be. They help prevent the spread of diseases. The danger of not getting vaccinated is that people that are not able to get vaccinated depend on those that are able, and if those that are able don’t, diseases that have been eradicated can be spread; getting many sick.

Kimberly

12/26/2018 04:06:17 pm

Vaccines are important because they not only protect an individual from a vaccine prevented illness, but also protect those who cannot receive a vaccine due to a health condition or age (such as infants and the elderly). Without vaccines, illnesses that are currently rare can become mainstream once again. Vaccines can prevent large outbreaks in preventable diseases, as well as protect those who cannot be vaccinated.

LeeAnn Mell

12/27/2018 10:25:41 am

Vaccines have been developed and used to stop a significant number of diseases. This is a process that we often take for granted because we have access to things like clean drinking water and sophisticated medical assistance. When the majority of the community have been vaccinated in creates what they call herd immunity which then helps to protect the small percentage of the population that cannot be vaccinated for one reason or another. The more people in the community that are vaccinated the stronger the herd immunity will be.

Every parent should educate themselves about vaccines and make an informed decision about vaccinating their child. They should consult with their child's pediatrician and find out what the risks are for vaccinating and also the risks for not. The parents can discuss every option with their doctor to help them to determine what shots their child should be given at what age and at what intervals.

Outbreaks of preventable diseases occur when many parents decide not to vaccinate their children.
•
Vaccination is safe and effective. All vaccines undergo long and careful review by scientists, doctors, and the federal government to make sure they are safe.
•
Organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention all strongly support protecting children with recommended vaccinations.
•
Vaccination protects others you care about, including family members, friends, and grandparents.
•
If children aren’t vaccinated, they can spread disease to other children who are too young to be vaccinated or to people with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients and people with cancer. This could result in long-term complications and even death for these vulnerable people.
•
We all have a public health commitment to our communities to protect each other and each other’s children by vaccinating our own family members.

Allison Jager

Vaccination is very important because it stops our children and us from developing avoidable deseases. It prevents old illnesses from affecting us if we were to choose against vaccinations. If we encourage parents not to vaccinate their children we run the risk of inviting old illnesses back into our communities to be spread to others. This is especially dangerous for individuals who have a weakened immune system and cant get vaccinated.

Malissa spradlin

4/4/2019 02:15:21 pm

Vaccinations are important because the herd of those vaccinated can protect those that can’t be vaccinated. Those who don’t vaccinate, make it more dangerous for those who can’t get vaccinated.
