Why is it important for everyone to be vaccinated?

Answer 1

Because disease prevention is the key to maintaining public health. It is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it. Vaccines prevent disease in the people who receive them and protect those who come into contact with unvaccinated individuals. Vaccines help prevent Infectious Diseases and save lives.

Vaccines are responsible for the control of many Infectious Diseases that were once common killers in the US; including polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).

Vaccine-preventable diseases have a costly impact on society and can also be expensive for the patient and their family. These diseases often result in visits to doctor's offices, severe hospitalizations, and premature deaths. Approximately 36,000 people die of the common flu (influenza) each year in the US alone. Getting your vaccination will prevent your infecting someone else who can not be vaccinated (for medical reasons) themselves. Caring for sick children can also cause parents to lose time from work.

Immunizing individual children also helps to protect the health of our community, especially those people who are not immunized. People who are not immunized include those who are too young to be vaccinated (e.g., children less than a year old cannot receive the measles vaccine but can be infected by the measles virus), those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons (e.g., children with leukemia), and those whose immune systems cannot make an adequate response to vaccination to prevent infection (e.g., those with immune suppression by diseases or pharmaceuticals). Also protected when you get your vaccination, therefore, are people who received a vaccine, but who have not developed immunity.

Infants can not be given vaccinations for some diseases until their immune systems mature, therefore, you could expose infants who can not be vaccinated to your germs. Infants and adults 65 and over are at higher risk of death from influenza, for example.
