    Also, those who cannot be vaccinated or receive exemptions can rely on those around them to prevent them from contracting the disease, known as “herd immunity”. A community promoting the unsafe effects of vaccines are more likely to contract a disease due to the fact that they are not immune to the diseases.

The number of parents who aren 't vaccinating their children has grown sufficiently abundant that it may be fueling more dangerous outbreaks of diseases.…

If more people receive proper vaccination, less people will get communicable diseases.…
