Require Vaccination
By: Michelle Li
INTRODUCTION
A measles outbreak in the US that started in Disneyland in late December 2014 has already spread to 17 states and infected more than 100 people (Ziv, Stan). Vaccines have become an important achievement in history. They have eradicated many once life threatening diseases and protect the public from harm. However, some fallacies about vaccines have led to parents making the ignorant decision to not vaccinate their children. Many people believe the misconception that since we now have modern technology and have vastly improved our hygiene and science, we are safe from diseases. That is not the case. Once prevented diseases could reappear and public health officials are poorly equipped to handle such a large outbreak (Saari, 8).
