This leads to the next important and highly impactful statement “Your family and coworkers need you”. Each year millions of adults get sick and as a result miss work or become temporarily unable to care for their families. The costs of healthcare for an individual with a vaccine-preventable disease can become high and detrimental to his or her financial stability. The vaccinations recommended and offered throughout the country can prevent those types of unfortunate situations. A final reason the foundation considered important was that vaccines wouldn’t give one the disease they are designed to prevent. There are many beliefs and concerns that vaccines give the virus to the patient. According to research done by The Baby Center’s editorial team, one cannot catch a disease from an inactivated vaccine because the infectious agent can’t reproduce but the dead virus or bacteria is still enough to stimulate the body’s immune system. There are only four vaccines that carry a small amount of live virus that can result in minor systems. Those vaccinations are: Flu (nasal spray only), Chicken Pox, MMR, and Rotavirus. Vaccinations are one of the largest medical advances in history and should be utilized to the fullest extent. Having vaccinations
