People think that because they don't get sick, that they don't need to be vaccinated. What people don't understand is that vaccines are used not only to protect themselves from sickness, but to protect people around them who have weak immune systems caused by other diseases. If someone doesn't get vaccinated, they may not get sick, but they are putting already weak people at risk for a possibly fatal disease. Side: Yes.

You have every right to put what you want into your body, but in this situation, there is not a strong reason why you shouldn't want to help others. This is a life or death situation, and a vaccine is not going to harm you. Even if you don't get sick personally, you could be saving someone's life by not exposing them to a disease. Side: Yes.
It doesn't matter what other people have for immune system strength if you don't get sick. Simply put, if someone is completely healthy, there is nothing bad to be transmitted. Anyways, if someone doesn't want to get sick, they should get vaccinated themselves so in wouldn't matter. Side: No.

What you aren't understanding is that people can still carry a disease and spread the germs if they aren't showing symptoms or feeling sick. By not vaccinating, they are increasing the chances of spreading a sickness, therefore increasing the chances of harming people who's immune systems are too weak to handle a vaccine. Some people aren't able to get vaccines because they are too sick; it isn't about whether or not they want to get vaccinated. Side: Yes.
Vaccines should, by law, be required. Not only is it important to the welfare of the child, but it's important to the welfare of the other children that child interacts with. Some children can't have vaccines due to medical issues and some children are too young yet to have vaccines. A child that doesn't get a vaccine and contracts one of the diseases can spread it to the other children and those children can bring it home to their too young siblings causing them to become super ill and possibly die. In addition, if a child is allergic to the vaccines or can't for other medical reasons could die if a well child with parents who aren't educated enough don't get their child vaccinated and infect other children. Side: Yes.
There are proven side effects to vaccinations. Who is going to pay for the funeral of my children when he or she dies from these unproven "medications". Big Phrama has doctors in their pockets, and there are too many vaccines out there. I don't want my child to be a pin cushion. Side: No.
Cdc.gov has more information about how safe and effective vaccines can be. In addition, there are financial aides out there to help with funeral costs to answer your question, but your child will not die from vaccines. Doctors have pamphlets and sheets that tell you all the ingredients in the said vaccines and you can always ask questions. Physically shots are pretty painless compared to kids being in sports. Side: Yes.

So, I should be okay with the insurance paying the whole cost to cause illness and problems in my child's life? No thank you. I would rather have to pay to keep these harmful products out of my child's life. Why should the government get to decide how I raise my kid? Side: No.

Vaccines are a crucial aspect to maintaining a healthy population-locally, nationally, and internationally. There have been numerous lethal diseases that have been eradicated such as Polio, Smallpox, and Malaria. But, because parents and guardians have either chosen to not vaccinate, or have not had the opportunity to vaccinate their children, diseases such as the vaccine-preventable case of Measles. If you are unvaccinated and have come in contact with a case of Measles, you have a 90% chance of contracting it. Side: Yes.
Yes, vaccines have "cured" those things, but we are no vaccinating for everything. They are making parents feel like horrible creatures for questioning one of the biggest corporations in the world. They are in this to make money. I want actual proof that all the other vaccines are doing more than lining the pockets of Big Pharma. Side: No.
According to the Center For Disease Control, children are regularly vaccinated for Chickenpox, Diphtheria, Influenza (Flu), Hepatitus A and B, Hib, Measles, Mumps, Polio, Pneumococcal, Rotavirus, Rubella, Tetanus, and Pertussis. Yes, at certain places a typical Flu shot will cost about $31-$35 without insurance, but just like any other resourceful and thoughtful planning and shopping, a person without insurance would be able to receive the Flu shot for as little as $15 at Sam's Club. Side: Yes.

I do not believe that vaccines should be required. I believe this because not everyone has health insurance or the money to pay for it. Another reason is because some people could be allergic to the vaccine required, causing an allergic reaction which could get really bad. People could also not even want the vaccine because the chance of getting some of the illnesses and stuff is probably really low. So why get it if the odds of getting it are low? Side: No.
Vaccines should not be required. Why? Because it would be expensive and time consuming to make sure everyone vaccinated. Also, it should be a person's choice if they want to have a weakened strain of a virus inside their body or not. Even though vaccines can be helpful, it doesn't mean they always are. If vaccines were required it would also be difficult to decide how much everyone would pay for them, or if they had to pay at all based on their income. Side: No.
So it is okay to skip something because it is time consuming? I guess we should just get rid of school. It is really hard to make sure students attend class. School isn't always helpful to everyone. I think we should just stop educating our children and let them run around in the grass. Side: Yes.
Vaccines should not be required. A person should be able to choose what they put in their body; in fact, the National Vaccine Information Center says that we have the right to know what is going into our body and the freedom to chose. If a person can choose whether or not to put metal in their body, such as a piercing, they should be able to chose if they want weakened diseases introduced into their body. Side: No.
Vaccines should not be required for many reasons. The first reason is the vaccine can cause serious, if not deadly, side effects. these side effects include anaphylaxis, which is an allergic reaction to the vaccine. i have in fact had anaphylaxis to the tetanus shot and it is far from a party. Another very valid reason vaccines should not be required is that in several instances these "horrible" diseases that vaccines target are almost 100% harmless. Side: No.
Actually President Roosevelt wasn't in his wheelchair all the time, he would often times walk into a room to show he didn't have time for weakness. The cost of todays vaccines far outweigh the benefits and seem to be used more as a revenue generator than anything else. Side: No.
It should be up to the person or the parent if they should be vaccinated. One reason is the person could be allergic to stuff in the vaccine and the government shouldn't get in the way of your personal decisions. Some of the side effects can be fatal, and in some cases the side effects could be worse than what the vaccine is trying to prevent. Side: No.
Vaccines should not be required for a few important reasons. Some people don't get vaccines because of potential negative side affects. Studies have shown links between vaccines and autism. Vaccines may also cause the disease that it is suppose to be preventing due to the antigens in them. Vaccinations consist chemicals, metals, and lab grown antigens that some people do not want in their bodies. Side: No.

People should not be forced to inject things into their body that they don't want. If vaccines were required, then how would hospitals enforce this rule? With the freedom to choose to be vaccinated or not, people have more control. If someone wants to be protected from an illness with a vaccine, by all means do it. But if someone wants to fight off the disease naturally, and not have any side effects of the injection, then that should be their choice. Side: No.
I don't believe that all vaccines should be required. Children are required to get vaccines for school, but that doesn't mean that they have to get every vaccine out there. If a parent doesn't think the flu shot helps, then they don't have to let their children get the flu shot. Its up to the person who is getting the shot or the parent of the person getting the shot. Some vaccine don't help, instead they give them the thing that they were being vaccinated for. Side: No.
