Vaccination

Vaccines protect our community and ourselves. This concept is called herd immunity or community immunity. It is very important that we are all vaccinated to keep ourselves and community healthy. Germs can travel quickly through a community and make a lot of people sick. If enough people get sick, it can lead to an outbreak. When enough people are vaccinated against a certain disease, the germs can’t travel as easily from person to person and the entire community is less likely to get the disease. That means even people who can’t get vaccinated will have some protection from getting sick. And if a person does get sick, there’s less chance of an outbreak because it’s harder for the disease to spread. Eventually, the disease becomes rare and sometimes it’s wiped out altogether. Community immunity protects everyone but it’s especially important because some people can’t get vaccinated for certain diseases. People with some serious allergies and those with weakened or failing immune systems like people who have cancer, HIV/AIDS, type 1 diabetes, or other health conditions. Community immunity is also important for the very small group of people who don’t have a strong immune response from vaccines. Many vaccine-preventable diseases that we don’t see much in the United States still make people sick in other countries. So it’s possible for travelers to bring these diseases back to the United States, where they could then spread. If we stop getting vaccinated, we won’t be protected from these diseases . Community immunity protects us only if enough people continue to get vaccinated. It is highly suggested that If you’re traveling outside of the United States, you may need to get vaccines to keep you healthy and safe.

Childhood immunization involves a balance between parents’ autonomy in deciding whether to immunize their children and the benefits to public health from mandating vaccines. A different mother may hold provaccination attitudes, but may not vaccinate herself or her children because of access barriers such as difficulties securing transportation to a health care provider or inability to pay for vaccination. Moreover, some parents may resist particular vaccines rather than all vaccines. They may mistakenly believe that vaccination is appropriate for others but not for their children or family, perhaps believing that they are invulnerable to an illness. It is the group of parents who both hold vaccine-opposing or vaccine-hesitant attitudes and exhibit non vaccinating behavior.
