Why You Should Vaccinate Your Child

You want to do the best for your children. You know about the importance of car seats, helmets and other ways to protect them. 

I have read several social media groups that were emotional vaccination, initially I thought they were sarcastic men then I researched and dug more in depth to find out they were 100% serious and I knew I had to to do something about it. I will try my best to wake them up and realize they are wrong and start with the simplest argument about why you or your child should be vaccinated.

Vaccination would increase the chance that your child would live disease-free. Because of the advances in medical science, your child can be protected from more diseases than before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children have been completely eliminated and others are near extinction mainly due to safe and effective vaccines. Polio is an example of the great impact that vaccines have had in Sweden. Polio was once Europe's most feared disease and caused deaths and paralysis across the country, but today there are no reports of polio in Sweden, thanks to vaccination.

Vaccination is very safe and effective. Vaccines are only given to children after a long and thorough examination by researchers, doctors and healthcare professionals. Vaccines will cause some discomfort and cause pain, redness or tenderness at the injection site, but these are minimal Prices of pain, discomfort and trauma of the diseases that these vaccines prevent. Serious side effects after vaccination, using severe allergic reaction, are very rare. The disease prevention benefits of getting a vaccine are far greater than the potential side effects for almost all children.

Immunizations can save your family time and money. A non-vaccinated child can be denied attendance at schools or child care. Some vaccine preventive diseases can lead to long-term paralysis and can start a financial problem due to lost time at work, medical bills or long-term care. However, it is a good investment to vaccinate against these diseases and is usually covered by insurance.

Immunization protects future generations. Vaccines have reduced and in some cases eliminated many diseases that killed or seriously paralyzed people just a few generations ago. For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide. Your children do not use getting smallpox anymore the disease no longer exists. Vaccinating children against rubella risks that pregnant women will transmit this virus until their fetus or newborn is dramatically reduced and birth defects associated with the virus not found in Sweden. If we continue to vaccinate now and fully vaccinate, I may parents in the future be able to trust that some illnesses today will no longer harm their children in the future.

Why you should vaccinate your child? The answer seems to be obvious. In my opinion, I should not even write this text, families in poor countries like Africa die from vaccine diseases and would do anything for a vaccine. Yet are you here and avoiding it for ignorant reasons? such a selfish handling to not vaccinate your children and send them to school to put even other children in the distance and think you are seeing the right job, please rethink your choices, educate yourself and give your children health and health fulfilling life.
