Buying things on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Do the advantages of shopping in this way outweigh the disadvantages?

A Healthy population is one of the significant factors for the development of countries. Advance vaccines can now prevent a plethora of diseases. While individuals have the freedom to make their decisions, I believe governments should pass a law for mandatory immunization of children.

Firstly

, Fighting preventable diseases is overburdening the

government

, and the spending on health is increasing every year.

That is

mainly because of diseases that could have been prevented by immunizing young kids. Polio,

for instance

, is an epidemic, India is dealing with for the

last

50 years. Initiatives to curb Polio have been unsuccessful, though the number of polio cases is decreasing. If the

government

had made immunization mandatory, diseases like Polio would never have existed in the modern world.

Secondly

, Illiteracy rates in developing countries are very high, and people do not completely understand the advantages of immunization.

For example

, In India, 60% of the population are living below the poverty line. Most of them believe, either vaccine is expensive, or they might harm bodies in ways doctors still do not understand. To overcome

this

, the

government

should come up with informational programs, which can educate and help these people;

for instance

, WHO is not only educating people in developing countries but

also

giving free vaccines. In conclusion, unless efforts are made to shift the public consciousness,

this

problem will only escalate. There should be strict laws for parents to immunize their children in order to help the

government

so that the money can be used for far worse issues like pollution, poverty, and illiteracy.
