With the onset of cold and flu season comes fevers, coughs, sore throats, upset stomachs and the list goes on.

The last reason why children should be vaccinated is because child vaccination helps the elderly as well. For example, if the child is ill and it is contagious, it will affect elderly because they are the one who is looking after that child. As we all know that, if elderly gets sick they cannot handle themselves because they are too old to fight for it. Firstly, they do not have enough strength to fight. One of the research (nia.nih.gov) says that, “Our immune system is a complicated network of cells, tissues, and organs to keep us healthy and fight off disease and infection.…
According to CIPD (2012) minor illnesses are by far the most common causes of absenteeism. In many cases employees who are absent due to minor illnesses may in fact have been well enough to attend work, this ties in with Steers and Rhodes ‘attendance motivation’ variable. This is also supported by the A-B continuum in Nicholson’s model of ‘Attachment’. Nicholson (1977) found that the position given to an absence such as a minor illness on the continuum differs depending on the person.…

Disease is a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment (“The Definition of Disease”). Disease has been around for as long as humans can go back, and because of the many viruses and bacteria present in almost all things (animals, plants, and people) it is quite impossible to completely avoid. Although viruses and bacteria can not completely be avoided, they can, however, be somewhat slowed down or prevented in most human beings -- this is where vaccinations come into action. Vaccinations have saved many children,…

Vaccinations for children The government should make it mandatory for all parents to get their children vaccinated. In today’s society, there is a split belief on vaccinations. On one hand, people vaccinate their children because they believe it can save their child’s life from contagious diseases.

While others think that vaccinating children has not lowered the number of children has not lowered the number of children with illnesses the truth is there has been many children saved each year. "Current research suggests that the average child not in daycare will have between 6-8 fevers per year between the ages of 0-3, and children in daycare will average 10-12 fevers per year" confirming of every child in daycare was vaccinated the number of fevers would go down (The consequences). This suggests that children who come in contact with other children are susceptible to much more; therefore, vaccinating children is very important. If they come in contact with children who haven 't been vaccinated and are carrying a disease then the vaccinated child 's body will fight that disease. There has been many illnesses prevents with the help of…
