People in Washington State are trying to protest against the new law being proposed to no longer be able to exempt their children from vaccines for religious or philosophical reasons. Now there are quite a few reasons why you should vaccinate your children. Some of these reasons will be outlined in the following little bit here. But first I am saying most information is from the center for disease control. This is to ensure my facts are accurate and show that vaccinating your child is one of the best things you can do to prevent measles or other preventable diseases.

The CDC (center for disease control) says this: (in their article “What are the reasons to vaccinate my baby” all info shown in this paragraph is from this article.) “protecting your child’s health is very important to you” they then say that giving your baby all the recommended vaccines by age 2 is the best way to protect them from 14 yes 14 serious diseases which are most likely to affect young children. Now all parents want what is best for their child and some might think vaccinating is not the right choice. Well you would be mistaken about this for many reason here are some of the following: (info from CDC) They (CDC) say that serious diseases like measles and chicken pox are still out there and can kill young infants not vaccinated against these diseases. This will affect places like salt lake city and places where people are the most against vaccines and this will help eradicate diseases like measles or other highly infectious diseases. So making non medical exemptions for vaccines illegal will solve large measles or other highly infectious diseases almost impossible.

The CDC says vaccines are the safe proven choice for keeping your children disease free. The CDC says we currently have the safest vaccine supply in our entire history. Vaccines are exclusively tested and that medical professionals need to evaluate the current info about the vaccine to make sure that they are safe for injection. Even though your child may feel some pain on the place they were injected with the vaccine it is so minor compared to having the disease and having all effects of the disease happen to you and your body that you might as well just vaccinate. Vaccinating means that you can have your children go to school more often for their betterment and overall learning. Without vaccines your child can get many disabilities like loss of limb function (depending on the disease). Most health insurance companies also offer to pay for vaccines and if you don’t have health insurance your child may be legible for the vaccines for children program.

So please consider this to help people in Utah and help eradicate measles and other highly contagious diseases.
