Should parents be obliged to immunize their children against common childhood diseases? Or do individuals have the right to choose not to immunize their children? Discuss both the views and give your own opinion.
With the development of society, an increasing number of people have become aware of their rights. So, an argument about whether
parents
should take responsibility for immunizing their kids has obtained great attention from the public. Considering health
and medical resources factors, I believe that there is an obligation for parents
to immunize their children
.
Firstly
, the fact that the health
of other offspring will be affected indicates that citizens should be obliged to immunize their children
against common childhood diseases. To be more specific, the early development of a kid cannot be left without any touch with other peers of the same age. In this
case, if individuals choose not to give any prevention against common diseases, which may be communicable, the health
of other kids will be influenced due to
their selfishness. As a result
, there is a compulsory liability for parents
to vaccinate their children
.
Secondly
, parents
should give a vaccination to their children
compulsively since this
action can put a burden on medical resources. In other words
, vaccinium and other preventions against common childhood diseases are developed to reduce morbidity, and one impact of them is to ease the medical burden. However
, If some people do not receive preventive measures, then
others will be infected, leading to a shortage of medical resources. For example
, every year during the flu season, children
's hospitals are overcrowded. Therefore
, vaccinating children
is a mandatory measure.
In conclusion, although
people have their own right to decide what they want to do, considering the effect on the health
of others and the medical burden of society, this
behaviour should be enforced.Submitted by hxk7664 on
