Vaccinating children against preventable diseases is not only unnecessary but also dangerous. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
In today's world of modernization, a section of people suggests that vaccination is completely unnecessary and dangerous, whereas another group argues against
this
. I firmly believe that vaccinating children can save lives and reduce the prevalence of many preventable diseases. Through Linking Words
this
essay, I would like to support my arguments by talking about various advantages which easily outnumber the limitations of immunization.
I would like to highlight 2 key points in favour of vaccination. Linking Words
Firstly
, studies suggest that antibodies that are formed inside a child's body improves his/her ability to fight against many avoidable causes of early childhood death. Linking Words
For example
, vaccines have successfully eradicated deadly infections like polio and small pox. Linking Words
This
was achieved with the help of immunizing everybody, including infants against these ailments. Linking Words
Secondly
, children are born with practically no antibodies. Linking Words
Therefore
, they can acquire any communicable illness throughout their childhood making them sicker and weaker. Linking Words
Hence
, injecting the child with these weaker bacteria or viruses can boost their chances of not falling sick easily. Linking Words
Thirdly
, some forms of immunity can Linking Words
also
be provided in forms of vitamin A or vitamin D. Linking Words
Thus
, these vitamins prevent deficiencies during the growth of kids and adolescents.
It is a known fact that no form of science can ever be perfect. There are 2 reasons why I agree with those who discourage the use of vaccines. Primarily, these injections are associated with a few side effects. Some of these adverse effects can be potentially harmful. Linking Words
For instance
, a tetanus shot can cause serious amounts of pain and swelling at the site where it is given. Dangerous side effects Linking Words
such
as, seizures have been observed in infants given a pertussis vaccine. Linking Words
Furthermore
, many of these preventable diseases do not exist in the western world anymore. Linking Words
As a result
, some might discourage the use of these vaccinations considering the risks they might pose.
In conclusion, vaccination rightly showcases the saying, " It is better to be safe, than sorry." I strongly feel that imparting artificial immunity should surely be promoted after taking into account the fact that a life can be saved even if it involves a minor risk of inflicting pain. The government should create more awareness regarding the huge benefits of avoiding common illnesses through Linking Words
