Vaccinating children against preventable diseases is not only unnecessary but also dangerous. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Nowadays, one of the topical issues in medicine is the recurring debate on whether infants and younger ones should be vaccinated or not. Many are of the school of thought that

this

phenomenon is deadly and uncalled for while others believe in the necessity of immunizing children especially immediately they are

this

essay, I completely disagree with the former because

vaccination

is a measure to prevent imminent diseases that could eventually lead to death, and

, should be encouraged. To start with, administering vaccines to children especially, the newly born, is essential to forestall possible potential diseases that affect children right from childhood. Diseases

such

as yellow fever and convulsion are better prevented via vaccines taken especially between one to three months after a child is born as these

seem to be incurable once the child grows to a certain age. As an example, the child mortality rate in Nigeria in the past two decades compared to now has declined significantly. From the report released by the Federal Ministry of Health in 2018, the statistics of infant death revealed an amazing 70% decrease between

However

should be abolished. To

in children in considerably limiting the incidence of infant mortality cannot be over-emphasised in our world today, but,
