There has been a debate around vaccinating children for many years now. Numerous parents have fled from the idea of getting their children vaccinated due to the belief that vaccinations harm children.

To save an unvaccinated child from diseases that could be prevented, it costs way more than to get a child vaccinated. In the U.S Department of Human and Health Services, the same title, “ Immunizations can save your family time and money,” and the same explanation, “Some vaccine-preventable diseases can result in prolonged disabilities and can take a financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills or long-term disability care,” are used. Both articles explain that parents can save more money and time by getting your child vaccinated. Also, the child receiving
