Why Should Vaccines Be Mandatory

Should Vaccines be mandatory for students?

Vaccines are made up from weak or small amounts of a virus, it stimulates your immune system to prevent future infections from the disease. I think that vaccinations should be mandatory for children in all schools. Getting vaccinated could save other children from spreading or receiving life-threatening diseases.

Schools are supposed to be an enjoyable learning environment for students, not a place to get a life-threatening disease. A child that has a vaccine curable disease can be turned down attendance at schools or child care facilities. Mandatory vaccinations could prevent children from catching serious, and contagious diseases. In the nineteen thirty’s and forties “polio” (a viral life-threatening disease) was devastating Americas children and families. It’s a great example of how mandatory vaccination works, and continues to work. When the government made it mandatory to vaccinate for “polio” in the United States, reports of “polio” consistently went down, and continued to drop until it was eliminated.

Children aren’t always the most hygienic creatures. On top of that they spend most of their time with other unhygienic children. Diseases can easily spread anywhere in the park

Some diseases could give you long term disabilities. Taking a toll on you family financially, it would be very expensive because of the hospital bills, long-term care, medical bills, or long-term care from treating the disabilities the diseases can give you. Vaccination is very inexpensive, also if you need financial help there’s a program called “The Vaccines for Children”. It’s funded by the United Sates government and it’s a program that provides vaccines for no cost to children from low-income families or households. It varies but some insurance companies pay for the vaccination with little to no cost for the family, or takes care of the cost
