In today’s society we use many vaccines that help prevent many different diseases. Some of these are live, attenuated vaccines, inactivated vaccines, subunit vaccines, toxoid vaccines, conjugate vaccines, DNA vaccines, recombinant vector vaccines. There are also multiple benefits of children getting there vaccinations early. There are also some downsides to vaccinations which will looked at directly as well. The importance of these vaccines are a great help and ultimately outweigh the shortcomings to this.

Vaccinations have been created to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases. When everyone, or even just a majority of the population, receives the vaccine, a phenomenon occurs called herd immunity. Herd immunity protects both the individuals who received the vaccine and those that could not: infants, elderly, HIV patients, and those with weakened or compromised immune systems (“Mandatory School Vaccinations: The Role of Tort Law”).

We all worry about our health, because we all want to be healthy. No one wants to get sick especially if it could lead to something worse than just a cold. It’s important to be properly vaccinated. It prevents the Chickenpox’s, the Measles, and Influenza. All three diseases can lead to fatal causes.

For one, people who are vaccinated can protect the other people who cannot be vaccinated for certain reasons or problems. “Annual influenza vaccination for healthcare workers has the potential to benefit healthcare professionals, their patients, and their families

Vaccinations are a preparation given to patients that provides acquired immunity to a specific disease. They contain either a live, weakened part or an inactive form created from a dead version of the viruses, causing the body to produce antibodies that will attack the virus if the body later comes into contact with the disease. A person can reduce the severity or eliminate the contraction of the disease completely. However, vaccinations have become a controversial topic and parts of the population refuse to get vaccinated. The result is a reduction in vaccinations, causing epidemics of deadly and highly communicable diseases once virtually eliminated due to vaccinations. Although some possible negative side effects to immunization exist, the benefits to the vast majority of people outweigh the rare risks.

Also, some people may not have time to get sick. You have too much responsibility to risk getting sick, including people who have jobs or school. Vaccination will help you stay safe.

I found it interesting that you mentioned the importance of vaccination since they are often overlooked and can cause public controversy.

For every dollar spent on childhood immunizations, you get $44 in economic benefits. That includes saving the money that families lose when a child is sick and a parent can’t work” (“Saunders”). Many parents must take time off work to take care for their sick child. Since the parents aren’t working, the economy is impacted. When someone vaccinates their child, the child’s chance of getting sick is lowered and the parent can continue working. The economy gains greatly from vaccinations.

Vaccines are not only advantageous for those who receive them, but those who are not medically able to receive them. Vaccines provide “herd immunity”, which occurs when a large portion of the population is immune to a certain disease as a result of vaccinations. Because they are immune, there is a greatly reduced risk for those who cannot be vaccinated of becoming sick. “This includes children and adults with leukemia and other cancers, immune system problems, and people of all ages receiving treatments or medications that suppress their immune systems” ("What If You Don't Vaccinate Your
