Some are life-threatening. Vaccinations, are kind of essential. They protect against things like measles, mumps, hepatitis B, Influenza, tetanus, and whooping cough.

Some parents believe that vaccines are the best thing that they could do for their child(ren). According to the CDC website, 84.2% of children 19-35 months received the Diphtheria, Tetanus,and the Pertussis vaccination, 93.3% received a Polio vaccination, 91.5% received a Measles, Mumps,and Rubella vaccination, 82.0% received the vaccine Haemophilus influenzae type bation, 91.6% received a Hepatitis B vaccination, 91.0% received the Chickenpox vaccination and 82.9% received the Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Unless we can completely stop the disease, it is extremely important to keep vaccinating. The CDC also states that even if there are only a few cases of the disease today, if we take away the protection given by vaccination, more and more people will become infected and will spread disease to others. Soon we will undo the progress we have made over the years. Once you stop vaccinating with in the states, diseases that you no longer see will make a comeback.
