Recommended: The benefits of getting vacinated

Vaccines should not be an optional choice given to parents when it comes to their children. Over the years vaccines have been proven to be effective, safe, and the best option when it comes to children 's lives. While supporting that all children should be vaccinated, I also support the facts that vaccines have no effects on Autism. While the thought of Autism is a main reason parents tend to say no to vaccines, there is no link between vaccines given to a child, and whether or not they have or will have Autism.
Parents are given the option now for certain vaccines as of whether or not they want their kid to receive it. Reasons why some parents say no to vaccines is their religion, personal beliefs, or the parents feel the vaccine is unnecessary.

As parents, the natural instinct to protect your children will overbear any medical recommendation. However, the choice of not vaccinating your children is selfish to the child as well as others in society. With the proper precautions and research, scheduled vaccinations will have a higher success rate than failure rate. Every parent is entitled to their parental rights in the US, but every person in society is also entitled to their health as well. “The best way to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases is to have highly immune population” (Centers for Disease

An issue many parents face today with is the common US practice to give all children dozens of vaccinations which may or may not cause side effects ranging from autism to death. Vaccination is the injection of a killed or weakened organism that produces immunity in the body against that organism. On “vactruth.com”, a website devoted to providing the latest articles about child vacinations, writer “Michelle Goldstein” expresses multiple reasons not to vacinate your child. In her article, “10 Reasons Not To Vaccinate”, she argues that all vaccines contain multiple toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, lead, cadmium, and thimerosal. She claims that all these chemicals can cause serious neurological damage, but Goldstein fails to provide recorded cases in which children have suffered neurological damage as a direct cause of harmful vacine chemicals.

Today, young children receive vaccines to protect them against 14 different diseases. Because some vaccines require more than one dose, children can receive as many as 26 inoculations by 2 years of age and up to five shots at one time. For this reason, some parents now ask their doctors to space out, separate or withhold vaccines. If the parent(s) decided to not vaccinate their child, the child may not have the necessary antibodies to fight off infection. That is why to protect the child, the vaccine needs to be not enforced on the child, but strongly suggested by the doctor.

Required Immunity Mandatory vaccinations for children in public schools have been the center of much debate since laws were first developed to regulate immunization. Fears from parents about side effects and adverse reactions have steered many away from wanting to vaccinate their children despite the numerous infectious diseases they prevent. These debates have gotten in the way of progression in schools for preventing the spread of disease. To me, the risks of not vaccinating children are far greater than the risks of adverse reactions.

Vaccinations When it comes to vaccinations, there are many different opinions on immunizing a child, especially when that child’s parent has a strong like or dislike towards vaccinating.

For decades, all 50 states have required that parents vaccinate their children against various diseases, including polio and measles, as a prerequisite to enrolling them in public schools (Ciolli, 2008).

Vaccines are like traffic lights; they ensure the safety of the public, be in heavily crowded areas, like schools, or densely trafficked roads. Traffic lights only work when all people follow the rules. If a car runs a red light, the car runs the risk of killing innocent pedestrians who are complying with the prescribed rules. Vaccines, if not utilized by most people, are ineffective. Even though some parents are concerned over the safety of vaccines, children who go to public schools should not be granted exemptions because vaccines are necessary to prevent outbreaks, children who do not receive vaccines are at risk of disease, and medically compromised children rely on vaccines to prevent disease.
