Immunizations prevent suffering by ridding of the diseases that may harm you and those around you. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention, “Almost two centuries after Jenner published his hope that vaccination could annihilate smallpox, on May 8th, 1980, the 33rd World Health Assembly officially declared the world free of this disease” (History of Smallpox). Due to vaccinations, diseases that have swept the nation in the past have disappeared. If everyone was immunized, diseases that could sweep the nation could permanently disappear. By being immunized, life will be long-lasting and painless because of diseases that have caused pain for many in the past. According to Pkids, “However, we have learned that nearly all of the cases

By protecting yourself, you protect those around you with a weak immune system. By being immunized, we benefit by avoiding unnecessary pain and from contracting it from other places around the world that do not support vaccinations. According to Department of Health and Human Services, “Vaccines have reduced and in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago” (Five Important Reasons to Vaccinate Your Child). Due to immunizations, many generations have been saved from diseases that cause permanent suffering. May vaccines have been invented to prevent painful lives or even death due to diseases that have killed a large population. By vaccinating, side effects caused by vaccine-preventable diseases can be avoided. Overall, immunizations can provide safety against those diseases that cause life-long suffering and much …show more content…
According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, “When a critical portion of a community is immunized against a contagious disease, most members of the community are protected against that disease because there is little opportunity for an outbreak” (Community Immunity “Herd Immunity”). Immunizations are a way to protect you and those around you, preventing an outbreak. By preventing an outbreak we are promoting the overall health of the community.We can achieve this by vaccines being mandatory in the United States. If everyone in a community was to be immunized, there would be little to no chance of an outbreak. According to UNICEF, “We could save 6.4 million lives, and avert US$6.2 billion in treatment costs and US$145 billion in productivity losses over the next decade” (Speech by Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director, to the Global Consultation on Addressing Inequalities in the Post-2015 Development Agenda). By making immunizations mandatory and available, the economy could save a very large amount of money that goes to treatment annually. It would also save many lives by providing immunization against any deadly diseases. The economy could be helped economically and medically if everyone were to vaccinate and promote “herd” immunity. This justifies the fact that vaccines should be mandatory in order to stay healthy. According to U.S. Department of Health
