Since the early 2000s, it has been common that vaccines are mandatory for schooling and jobs, but a closer look brings them into question. “There is a wide spectrum of vaccine complications, which have been identified and acknowledged in the medical literature and by the Institute of Medicine,” (nvic.org). Very much like prescription drugs, vaccination includes the risk that it may cause harm or may not work at all. Vaccines should not be mandatory for any reason, and it should be the parents’…

A vaccine is a biological product that helps humans or other animals develop immunities that protect them from one or more diseases. English doctor Edwin Jenner developed the first vaccine in 1796 to create an immunity to smallpox after noticing that women who contracted cowpox from milking cows did not develop smallpox.

infectious diseases like polio and smallpox, and the need for a vaccine to prevent HIV/AIDS infection. English Physician Edward Jenner developed a small pox vaccine, in late 1796. Jenner came to the conclusion that by infecting a child with cowpox, a mild form of smallpox, the body could build immunity to smallpox.
