Introduction and thesis (claim with ‘should/should not,” “because,” reasons 1,2,3)
-------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------- The main purpose of a vaccine is to prevent children from getting an infectious disease that can lead to death. With the correct information provided to families, the vaccination rate of children can be raised by providing the reasons why vaccines were created to benefit children of the world, and it is important for children to receive all their vaccines.
