Community Immunity is when an important and large part of the community is immunized so that when someone is unable to be vaccinated they will not be compromised (Vaccines.gov). It also includes the people that refuse to be vaccinated. An argument of people who do not vaccinate is that they are still alive and healthy. This argument is invalid because you are not sick. The reason you are not sick is because you are protected by community immunity. Everyone around you is not sick because they are vaccinated and they are not at risk for the bacteria that make up those hazardous ailments. Just because you are healthy does not mean that you can not fall victim to the treacherous diseases that once plagued the United States. Take away community immunity and disease spreads and disaster strikes. In 3rd world countries, diseases like polio are still alive and thriving. There is no community immunity and hardly any doctors that can vaccinate all the vast populations so that they don 't infect
