Each batch of vaccines are tested for safety, potency, and purity before being released to the public (Meadows 3). Also DNA technology and new delivery methods are leading scientists in new directions (“Ethical Issues” 2). Doing research and trials, is one of the most important parts of approving a vaccination other than the testing of the vaccination. Research shows that vaccines stimulate our bodies to make antibody proteins that target the bacteria or viruses once our bodies encounter them (Meadows 1). One of the most important findings about children and vaccinations, is that the population of children who are at the highest risk of getting sick are babies who are not yet old enough to be vaccinated (Heyworth 3).
