The benefits of vaccination
Vaccination is different from giving medicine to an unwell child to make them better. The benefits of vaccination are invisible. The idea is that your child won't become ill with measles or end up in intensive care with meningitis.
It may be tempting to say "no" to vaccination and "leave it to nature". However, deciding not to vaccinate your child puts them at risk of catching a range of potentially serious, even fatal, diseases.
In reality, having a vaccination is much safer than not having one. They're not 100% effective in every child, but they're the best defence against the epidemics that used to kill or permanently disable millions of children and adults.
Thank you for your input but there's a huge difference between vaccinations given to children for measles, mumps, rubella, etc. and the flu vaccine which doesn't give anyone 100% immunity to the flu. People who are allergic to eggs should not take the flu shot and as long as thiomersal (a mercury based derivative) is used to make the vaccine, I will not take it and was excused from taking the vaccine at the hospital I worked in on doctor's orders.
