Some of the most common vaccinations are Measles, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal, Mumps, and many more. With every day, new information is found out and tested about all types of diseases.

In the book Financing Vaccines in the 21st Century: Assuring Access and Availability, the Institute of Medicine claims that, “Immunization is financed through private health insurance, public safety net programs, and patient out-of-pocket spending. Private insurance covers 52 percent of children aged 0 to 5 years for immunizations, and public programs cover about 34 percent.

Immunizations are one of the only ways to reduce the odds. Vaccines help reduce the chances that people get sick by trying to trigger the body to fight off and come immune to the disease. A terrible way to spend hard worked money is through medical bills. Being sick can get quite expensive, definitely more expensive than a quick vaccination. Immunizations can potentially allow people to spend more money on other things. The uses of immunizations help not only people now, but people help future generations. Vaccinations help build up the immune system to be able to fight off these fatal diseases, ultimately reaching the final goal-- extinction of the
