Vaccinations protect your child
Similarly to how we don’t know what we’ve got until it’s gone, the benefits of vaccinating are invisible until we fail to do so. It’s impossible to know how many times your child is exposed to a vaccine-preventable disease and fights it off as a result of immunisation.
Vaccinations prevent the spread of disease
If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to save one. The decision not to vaccinate places the most vulnerable at risk: young babies, pregnant women, the elderly and those who can’t be vaccinated because of immune-weakening diseases such as leukemia. Vaccinating your child is the very best way you can help prevent disease spreading and infecting those who can’t protect themselves.
Vaccinations are safe
Although injections may occasionally amount to tenderness and mild side effects in children, the benefits of vaccines far outweigh this passing discomfort. Although allergic reactions are possible, they’re the extreme exception. Vaccines only get the nod of approval from governing bodies after rigorous testing and thorough review processes.
Immunisation makes financial sense
In comparison to the cost of treating a child who is infected with a serious disease, the cost of vaccinating children is minimal. It’s a vital investment in your family’s long-term health.
