Advantages - most people who keep up to date on their vaccinations against a particular disease will never get that disease. The diseases people are vaccinated against can potentially cause death or serious disability.
Some immunizations are required to work in certain settings, especially health care and the military
Some vaccines are required for travel.
Schools in the United States require students to have their proper vaccinations.

Disadvantages - The most common disadvantage is getting a little sore at the injection site. For example, if you get the tetanus shot you will probably have muscle soreness for a couple of days.
Very rarely, a vaccination can give you the disease it's made to prevent. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE.
Some people may be allergic to some components of the vaccination, for example, the flu vaccine contains egg ingredients and many people cannot have the flu vaccine because they're allergic to eggs.
Some people believe that thimerosal, a preservative that used to be common in vaccines, causes autism. However, most researchers and doctors disagree, and the majority of vaccines given today do not contain thimerosal anyways.

Advantages Of Immunisation

2016-11-11 04:15:12 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0 0

I have never been immunized against anything except the Flu and Pneumovax. No childhood jabs whatsoever. Now I am 49 and if I decide that I would like to travel to India, South America, Egypt, sorry I cannot go, as I have not had any vaccinations. Likewise if I wanted to go and live and work in another country, ops sorry. Those are the disadvantages of Parents not vaccinating their kids. Moreover any bug going around and not only do I contract it, but it really messes up my health.

Very few, if any current vaccinations still contain mercury. The problem is that the ages that most children receive vacinations is about the same age that most children begin showing signs of autism. Only one single study out of hundreds has shown any kind of link between autism and vaccines, and all but one of the publishers of that study have taken their names from the study.

Is there a hazard? Yes. But it is a minor one, much less danger than having a large population of unvaccinated children. There are always some who are not vaccinated. If that group becomes large enough, they risk not only themselves, but everyone else by becoming a type of breeding ground for the disease and causing more exposure to it than even a vaccination can handle.

my rule of thumb: make certain the product has been on the market at least 2 years before using it. Example: vaccine for Lyme disease, the immunity it affords actually is the mechanism that caused the disease. so one disadvantage is that new vaccines or new drugs in general are not screened well enough to protect the public.

It's really not that hard of a question to answer. Do a little research and I'm sure you'll come up with a good answer. First question to ask yourself; what is the purpose of immunizations?

Pros:

you don't get diseases
you don't run the risk of dying from stuff that is preventable
you get them young (most of them) so your not really traumatize
you run little to no risk of complications from them (most cases <0.1%)
you have piece of mind that you won't get tetanus or rubella

Cons:
you feel a little sick for a day or so afterwards
you arm can be a little sore
you may be the one in many many thousands that have a reaction such as cellulitis or allergic rxn to the immunization itself

X - Files
if its 'free' government supplied Flu shots, maybe decades later they will reveal what really was being given

Even if nothing covert, still, legitimate Flu shots have dead viruses of obsolete strains of flu, suspended in fluid that contains formaldehyde which is emballming fluid and can have adverse effects on the brain and cns and nerves.
My father lost his ability to speak clear words because of it. Also, they don't necessarily immunize you of the most current upcoming strains of flu, your body is busy building defenses against obsolete flus.

OTHER immunizations like Tetanus shots every 10 years could really save your life. Seriously worth it.
