What Is Vaccine?

Vaccines are a big part of the modern world. They help our immune system in the same way someone runs a training course; preparing for something they may encounter in the future. Vaccines have many benefits that can help in the long run, that is why I stand in firm affirmation that vaccines should be required for children.

To clarify, a vaccine provides active acquired immunity to certain viruses and diseases; a vaccine is biologically prepared.

I offer the following contentions in affirmation of the resolution.

Contention 1: To begin with, my first point is the fact that vaccines can save lives. According to the Immunization Partnership, individuals who have been vaccinated do get sick, the risk of complications and duration of illness

According to Sanjay Gupta, the Chief Medical Correspondent for CNN and practicing neurosurgeon, “...you are 100 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have a serious allergic reaction to a vaccine that protects you against measles…” (Pro/Con). It is a big controversy that vaccines can cause autism but there is no proof or physical evidence of such claims.

This is a low number considering there are 323 million people in the US. Because of this, the system requires any recent vaccines to be recorded. Although there is no proven correlation between the

I must affirm this resolution; vaccines should be required for children. Thank you for your time.

Based on what the negative position has said, I have a few final thoughts; not everything can be cured, and fatal side effects are very rare. Not everything can be cured with rest and fluids, yes symptoms can be subdued, but not entirely cured. Vaccines are a big controversy in the modern world. Many people are for vaccines, many people are against vaccines. Some people don’t even care about vaccines. Vaccines are definitely something to be concerned about.
