Too Few Children Are Getting Recommended Vaccines, CDC Warns.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning that too few children are getting recommended vaccines. This can lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases and can put children at risk of serious illness or death. The CDC recommends that all children receive a series of vaccines to protect them against a variety of diseases, such as measles, polio, and whooping cough. It is important for parents and caregivers to ensure that their children are up to date on their vaccinations and to talk to their healthcare provider about any concerns they may have.

"The Tragic Consequences of Skipping Vaccinations: A Real-Life Story"

The case of a two-year-old boy in Oregon who contracted tetanus and had to spend 57 days in the hospital, including several weeks in a coma. The boy had not been vaccinated against tetanus and had an open wound on his forehead when he contracted the disease. He required intensive care and multiple surgeries, and his medical bill exceeded $800,000.

This case highlights the importance of vaccination and the serious consequences that can occur when children are not vaccinated. Tetanus is a serious bacterial disease that can cause severe muscle spasms and stiffness, as well as difficulty swallowing and breathing. It is preventable through vaccination.

This case also shows how unvaccinated children not only put themselves in danger but also put a strain on the healthcare system, as well as financial burden on the family and community.

It's important to note that this is just one example, and every child and every case is different. However it illustrates the severity of preventable diseases and the importance of vaccination. Parents and caregivers should talk to their healthcare provider and make an informed decision based on accurate and reliable information regarding vaccination for their children.

Here are some Pros and Cons of not getting your child vaccinated:

The pros of not getting your child vaccinated include the belief that the child will not be exposed to the risk of adverse reactions from the vaccine, and that the child will be able to build up natural immunity to certain diseases.

However, the cons of not getting your child vaccinated far outweigh the pros. Not getting your child vaccinated puts them at risk of contracting serious, sometimes deadly diseases such as measles, polio, and whooping cough. It also puts other individuals, particularly those who are unable to get vaccinated such as newborns, pregnant women and immunocompromised people, at risk of contracting these diseases.

Not getting your child vaccinated also contributes to the loss of herd immunity, which means that a sufficient portion of a population is immune to an infectious disease through vaccination, making it difficult for the disease to spread and ultimately protecting the entire community.

Furthermore, not getting your child vaccinated can also lead to financial burden if your child contracts one of these preventable diseases and requires medical attention.

Overall, the CDC and other health organizations recommend that children receive all recommended vaccinations to protect them and the community from preventable diseases. Parents and caregivers should talk to their healthcare provider about any concerns they may have and make an informed decision based on accurate and reliable information.
