Vaccinate? There should be no Question
Journal Title: Pediatrics and Neonatal Nursing – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
As a child, my parents never thought twice about whether or not my siblings and I would get our vaccinations, we just got them. I don’t know if my mother’s decision was in part because she was a nurse or if it was just the right thing to do as a parent. But as an adult, I’m thankful she made the decision to vaccinate us. I never have to worry that I may have been exposed to the measles because I went on a fantasy ride called “It’s a Small World”. I wonder how these non-vaccinated children will feel about their parent’s decision not to immunize them when they are adults?
