Parents in today’s time want the best of everything for their child. Even before the child is born everything from education to career path is decided. Parents do everything to ensure their child is healthy and happy, they will choose the best hospital and best doctor for the kid, provide best of the things from the starting only for example soft clothes and good toys clean environment by using air purifiers and touching the baby only after using sanitizers.
But they don’t realize that the best way to protect your baby is to make sure that he/she gets all the vaccinations. Modern parents have started questioning the vaccines and they also believe that it is unnecessary and dangerous.
People forget that with the help of vaccinations only India became a Polio Free Country, not only that but still there are diseases caused by bacteria and viral and Vaccination is required to prevent them.
One should not vaccinate their kid for the sake of their kid only but also for the sake of other children and a disease free country in general. Earlier this year an unvaccinated 5-year-old French boy was suspected of bringing measles back to Costa Rica, which was measles free for five years.
Benefits of Vaccination:
Vaccinations protect the person from getting infected but also prevents that person from getting infected and spreading the infection to the people around them.
It has rarely any harmful side effects. The only side effects are soreness in arm or leg where the vaccine was injected or a very mild fever that may last for a day or two. Surely vaccines are much better and safer than getting diseases.
Vaccines help in protecting the body in such a way that there are many diseases that target a particular body part and tends to damage it, so vaccines protects us from such disease causing bacteria.
It is not that vaccines help to protect in childhood only it protects the person during adulthood also. A person from childhood is exposed to germs and disease causing bacteria they can be anywhere in Schools, Playgrounds, Offices, in a new country where a person is transferred. So if the person has taken all the vaccines he/she is protected from the disease causing threats.
If we create a disease free environment today we will have a very healthy future for us as well as the coming generation.
At the end I would say that people should not boycott vaccinations instead they should be grateful to Medical Science to create such a wonderful thing known as Vaccinations that protects us from harmful diseases. People must understand the value of it, respect it and be thankful for it.
