with a vaccine. A vaccine contains weakened antigens which carry the disease. An antigen is a molecule that causes your immune system to produce antibodies--- proteins whose main purpose is to kill antigens. When a vaccine is injected into your body, your body thinks that the vaccine is the disease so it creates many antibodies. Then, if you come in contact with the disease, your body will fight it with the antibodies it already produced and you will not contract the disease. The first vaccine…
of the vaccine movement was the year 1855; when the smallpox vaccines were mandatory for the school children. The state of Massachusetts passed the first U.S. Law, mandating vaccination for the school children. This practice continues still today. By the age of 6, 49 vaccines are given to the single kid.

doctors. Vaccinations are a very controversial topic. Some people will argue that vaccines do not lead to immunization, vaccines are studied in the wrong ways, or that diseases were already on their way out prior to the implementation of the vaccine. Nowadays there is talk on how effective these vaccines are and how they may contribute to more problems than they solve. The author of this article believes that vaccines are detrimental to society; however I believe that his article is ineffective…

Multitudes of people think you do not need vaccines because diseases are rare, or that vaccines never worked, saying that better hygiene and water sanitation deserve…
