he thinks. As reported on CDC, Centers for Disease Control, 40 percent of all American parents were refusing one or more vaccines for their children (Willrich 3). So it is clearly one of the most significant public health issues today. There are lots of people who hold the belief against vaccination because of several reasons. Even though there is a public notion that vaccine has bad effects on human body, I strongly believe that vaccinating is the most crucial and effective way to keep people healthy

to an epidemic, or pandemic which refers to a global outbreak. Measles is a communicable disease that is highly contagious according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The good news is that it is a preventable disease, because there is a vaccine that is available to prevent people from contracting it. One complication that arises is when some people refuse to immunize their children, (sometimes due to religious reasons or other beliefs) then the risk of an outbreak certainly increases.

and Drug Administration regulates and licenses all of the vaccines required for children to ensure both "safety and effectiveness." Given our history before vaccines, outbreaks claimed dozens of lives. Researchers at the Pediatric Academic Society has reported that childhood vaccines in the U.S. now prevent about 10.5 million cases of infectious illnesses and help prevent over 33,000 deaths per year. This is a 90%-99% success rate for vaccines creating "herd immunity." With such positive numbers, and

Shaunase’ Stallings Hope Hogan DATE \@ "MMMM d, y" November 18, 2013 Vaccine Debate Paper The doctors of today use vaccines to give an artificial immunity to certain pathogens. A vaccine is a weakened or dead pathogen injected into the body. Vaccines are used to expose our immune systems to pathogens so we can create memory cells.

The Importance of Vaccinations for Children Since Edward Jenner introduced the first vaccine, a vaccination against smallpox, in 1778 (Allen, 48) the world has been a bit skeptical. The concept of inoculation is counter-intuitive—what sense does it make to inject a healthy person with the very virus they’re trying to prevent he or she from contracting? The very idea of it seems dangerous, even reckless. The issue with this uneasy feeling about the safety and sense of vaccinations is ignorance

a greater risk of contracting diseases. The way vaccines work is by creating immunity to diseases by injecting a small amount of a weakened germ into a body where it attacks it as if it were a real virus. The body begins to build antibodies to the germ; and later when the body is attacked by the same, or a similar germ, the body remembers it and is able to protect the body from another infection (Elana Pearl Ben-Joseph, 2010). Though vaccines carry risks, refusing vaccinations puts others at risk
