Discuss the role of immunization in safeguarding public health. Describe what immunizations do and what might happen if children are not immunized, according to the research
What will be an ideal response
Students should emphasize that immunizations have been instrumental in the sharp
decrease and near-eradication of many common childhood diseases. Immunization
stimulates the body's immune system to defend against particular diseases.
Children who are not immunized are more susceptible to disease and even death.
Some students may argue against immunization, raising the issue of increased
incidence of autism, though that link has not been established in the research.
