Seth Berkley once said, “Unlike medical treatment, vaccines provide a lifetime of protection from deadly and debilitating diseases.” As you can see vaccines can protect you throughout your life and can protect our net generation. Vaccines have chemicals that are injected into your body to kill diseases. Vaccines should be required for kids because it helps to not spread diseases, prevent kids from getting ill, and can save lives.
Many diseases can spread quickly when people don’t get the proper vaccinations. For example, ProCon.org/Vaccines states, “Herd immunity means that when a "critical portion" of a population is vaccinated against a contagious disease it is unlikely that an outbreak of the disease will occur so most members of the community will be protected.” This explains how we all need to take the required vaccinations. If we don’t, the diseases will spread easily because there are less people who have the vaccines. Furthermore, ProCon.org/Vaccines states, “A Jan. 2008 outbreak of measles in San …show more content…
In one case, ProCon.org explains, “Vaccines save 2.5 million children from preventable diseases every year [44], which equates to roughly 285 children saved every hour.” This explains how vaccines can do more than the immune system can. With only the immune system deadly diseases such as polio and smallpox could kill the child. More importantly “USA Today” notify us that, “Vaccines given to infants and young children over the past two decades will prevent 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 732,000 deaths over the course of their lifetimes.” This proves that vaccines can save many children’s lives. If there was just the immune system, more children would die of illness. In conclusion, vaccines save more lives than the immune system can, so every child needs to get
