With all of the debates going on about whether or not to immunize your child, it can really be confusing as a parent to know what the right thing to do is. While your first instinct may be to take your doctors advice, you can then look online or even overhear conversations in public about how doctors are wrong and there is 'evidence' to support this. The more you research immunizations, the more confused the whole topic can become. This article will offer you the chance to read about the benefits of making sure your child is properly immunized, which may help to make your decision a bit easier.
You won't have to argue with their school
When you go to enroll your child in school or daycare, they will want to see their immunization record to make sure they are up to date. This is so they can assure all parents that they are providing the students with an environment that is as healthy as possible. If they allow all the children to come without being properly immunized, then there will be an increased risk of serious illnesses being spread around the children. If you don't immunize your child, you may find it extremely difficult to get your child in, because you will have to jump through some serious hoops to get past the immunization requirements.
You will be in compliance with your child's doctor's recommendations
Your child's doctor will want you to follow their guidelines and advice regarding making sure your child is immunized according to their advice. When you don't listen to what they suggest, they can even drop your child as their patient, if they decide to take this avenue. If you like your child's doctor, then this can be a real blow to you and leave you scrambling to find another doctor that you feel you can trust with your child's care and well-being.
You will have peace of mind
When you know that you have had your child properly immunized, you will be able to enjoy some extra peace of mind. If you see something on TV or through other sources about one of the diseases or illnesses going around that immunizations cover, you will know your child is protected. This can take a lot of worry off of you that you may experience otherwise, if your child wasn't protected from those things.
