Knower groups in one area of knowledge may not agree with another group’s form of application or some groups may not…

you will do everything in your power to keep him/her out of harm’s way. When a doctor informs you that your infant needs to receive a strict vaccine regimen it may seem easy to say no.

Immunization of children against a horde of infectious viruses and bacteria has been addressed to be one of the most critical health interventions of the 20th century. Immunizations have eliminated the virus smallpox infection worldwide, impelled polio from North America, and made once common infections like diphtheria, tetanus, and measles a very uncommon occurrence.

potential harmful effects carry too high a risk. Limiting vaccinations would cause an outbreak in diseases because vaccines prevent the disease from forming. Vaccinations have lowered the risk of getting a disease, but the disease is still there and if vaccinations were stopped, it would have immediate effects.
