Thesis: Children should be vaccinated because vaccination protects them against sickness, reduces the spread of common ailments, and can protect individuals who cannot be vaccinated.…
Yes, I do believe mandatory vaccine programs should be instituted as a public health initiative. Those who are not immunized put other people at risk to these dangerous diseases. Vaccines are meant to help prevent and stop the spread of these viruses to others. It is not fair to those who are medically sensitive and have a suppressed immune system be exposed to these unvaccinated individuals because of their personal beliefs. Many parents do not want to vaccinate their children because they think their child will have a “regression”. There have been many studies where there is no correlation between vaccines and autism or any other type of disorder. These individuals have a hard time understanding science and its facts. The measles outbreak in Disneyland occurred because the individual was not vaccinated and had the virus. In a matter of time it spread to over 100 infections to different states around the country. If vaccines were mandatory, this outbreak would have not occurred.…
Thanks to technology and research, vaccines have kept serious diseases from becoming epidemic illnesses, unlike many years ago. When children are vaccinated, the chances of contracting the disease being vaccinated for are decreased drastically. Every child should be immunized to protect themselves and the people around them from these deadly diseases. The best way to prevent preventable diseases is to have an immune population. We can achieve this by simply vaccinating our children.…
The moral of this essay is to show that vaccinating your children is a lot more safe for them and the children they are around. Vaccinating your children lowers their risk of contracting a disease that could potentially be very harmful or even deadly. When people have children they need to realize the risk they are taking when they choose not to immunize their…
Orna Izakson explains the risks and benefits of being vaccinated in an article of Your Health. She answers questions that some parents have today regarding vaccines being safe and what health problems they may cause in children. Can vaccines cause autism? What adverse side effects come with vaccines that contain thimerosal? Before reading this article I agreed with the parents and scientists that questioned the safety of vaccinating children. With all the questions and concerns that parents seem to have about vaccines, I have found that there are many articles that can either help ease their mind about vaccinating or give them the opportunity to elect not to vaccinate their children all together.…
A vaccine is a substance used as a preventive inoculation to obtain immunity from a specific disease, commonly using an innocuous form of the disease as an inactive pathogen to stimulate antibody production. Even though the first vaccine was created 215 years ago in 1796, many people today are still apprehensive about vaccines due to fear of vaccines’ negative side effects. This investigation studies whether vaccinations should be made mandatory or otherwise, considering both the negative and positive impacts of vaccines.…
In conclusion, vaccinations should be mandatory for all children. It is dangerous and irresponsible not to give them the very best chance in life. The main responsibility of a parent is to protect their child and to give their child the best possible future. If parents do not vaccinate their children, they are not doing their job. If everyone who was able to get vaccinated did, then those who could not, would be able to live their lives without fear of…

The questions of whether vaccination should be mandatory and what government entity has the power to legislate vaccinations are hotly debated. The ruling of Jacobson v. Massachusetts gave power to the states to enact vaccination laws, which means that only individual states can mandate vaccines.Some people worry the federal government may mandate widespread vaccinations in the face of an epidemic, however, the government currently does not have the power to do so. All states have mandatory vaccination laws for school children that include limited exemptions for religious, medical, or philosophical beliefs. In 2014 there was an outbreak of measles that affected nearly 150 people in California. After this outbreak had occurred the state decided…

For many, it is one of several reasons why they oppose compulsory vaccinations: an overwhelming belief that there is a ‘big pharma’ conspiracy present in the pharmaceutical companies that produce the vaccinations, and also within the government that control vaccination purchasing and legislation. The ‘big pharma’ conspiracy theorists are majority based in the US, but will ultimately affect any opposition to compulsory vaccination legislation in the UK due to the nature of the Internet and the case study that the US provides as a country with compulsory vaccinations for children entering state education.…
“Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It’s a simple message parents need to keep hearing” (author, page #). Vaccines are a substance that teaches your body’s immune system to recognize and defend against harmful viruses or bacteria before you get infected.

Should vaccinations be mandatory for children entering school? At the present time, all fifty states in the United States require children entering public school to be vaccinated. However, no federal vaccination laws exist (ProCon.org, Children Vaccinations, Did you know?). Many parents hold religious beliefs against vaccination. Forcing such parents to vaccinate their children would violate the First Amendment, which guarantees citizens the right to the free exercise of their religion. Others believe that common childhood vaccinations may cause rare, yet serious reactions.…
