Below are Five important reasons to vaccinate (immunize, or get shots)
- Vaccines can save your child’s life. Polio is one example of the impact vaccines has had in the United States. Thanks to vaccination, there are no reports of polio in the US.
- Vaccination is safe and effective. Vaccines go through many tests and reviews by scientists, doctors, and health care professionals. Vaccines can cause pain at the injection site, redness, and tenderness. This is minor compared to the pain and potential deadly effects of diseases vaccines prevent.
- Vaccines protects others you care about and those you may not know. There are some individuals, due to an immune disorder etc., who may not be able to get vaccines and are very susceptible to the disease. By vaccinating, you help create what is called “herd immunity” meaning the more individuals who are vaccinated will help protect those who are not or cannot be vaccinated from getting the disease
- Immunizations can save your family time and money. A child with a vaccine preventable disease will not be allowed to be school or day care center. Some vaccine preventable diseases can cause long-term disabilities.
- Immunizations protect future generations. By vaccinating against certain vaccine preventable disease while pregnant will help protect the unborn baby.
