Vaccinations
by Brooke Fallis
Brief Summary of the Issue
People should have to have vaccinations
Why do people have to get vaccines
1. vaccination have prevented millions of cases of diseases such as polio, measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis A, diphtheria, and pertussis
2. besides death, and in the case of rubella (which went from infecting 48,000 to 17 because of vaccines), some children are permanently injured with deafness, cloudy corneas, damaged hearts, and stunted intellects
3. when you don't get vaccines it can spread and cause the disease to have an outbreak among non-vaccinated people
4. parents should not be able to opt out for personal opinions because it is very risky for children
5. some doctors won't see patients with anti-vaccine views because it can easily spread to other kids and potentially cause an outbreak of the certain disease
6. all states require children to get certain vaccinations to enroll in school because it will spread

Why some people chose not to get vaccinated
2. some children have certain adverse health conditions, so they can't take the vaccine (autism, speech disorder, bowl disease)
3. children's parents have strong religious reasons against vaccination, so they don't make their children have vaccinations
