The boy never contracted smallpox which developed the idea of vaccination. Vaccination is among the greatest invention in the field of health. They have saved millions of lives for over 50 years. Before the development of measles vaccine, millions of Americans suffered from the disease per year and thousands were hospitalized (Kluger). Most vaccines administered to children are 90% to 99% effective in disease prevention. However, there is a challenge where some people doubt the efficiency of vaccines and thus do not take their children for vaccination. The main concern to parents is a myth that autism is caused by vaccines. Vaccines aid in preventing children from contracting deadly diseases and in containing diseases so that they don’t spread to others. When a child is born, their immune system is not…
