Understanding Vaccine
Mandates
BY DR. ALLEN CHERER / ON NOVEMBER 18, 2021 / EDIT
Vaccines have saved millions of lives over the years by preventing
diseases like polio, measles, and diphtheria from spreading. But as
more people refuse to vaccinate their children because of
unfounded fears, those numbers could rise again. This post will
explore the mandates of a vaccine.
Prevents diseases
Vaccines are typically thought to work by stimulating the body’s
immune system to defend against disease-causing
microorganisms, called pathogens. The weakened or killed virus in
a vaccine cannot make you sick, but your body can develop the
ability to fight the real thing. This is called immunity and the only
way to build it is through vaccines.
Safe to use
Vaccines are tested extensively for safety and effectiveness before
they come to market. In the United States, vaccines must be
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means
that vaccines have met strict scientific guidelines, proving them
safe and effective. Most vaccine reactions are mild such as fever,
redness or soreness where they were given, or temporary aches.
Severe side effects are very rare but may include allergic reactions,
a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis can occur within

minutes after vaccination occurs in someone who is known to be
allergic to certain vaccine components.
Prevent epidemics
If a critical number of people in a community are vaccinated
against the same disease, the odds of outbreaks become very small.
This is called ‘herd immunity. Even those who cannot be
vaccinated because they have compromised immune systems or
other conditions benefit from herd immunity. This is why it is so
important for everyone to get vaccinated, especially when an
epidemic is looming.
Protects future generations
When enough people are vaccinated, diseases stop spreading. This
protects everyone, including future generations because many
vaccine-preventable diseases have no cure. Preventing disease
through vaccination is one of the most successful and cost-effective
health strategies in history. It is crucial to maintain high
vaccination rates to ensure that these diseases do not return.
Vaccines were responsible for making our world what it is today
with all the achievements we’ve had so far.
Vaccines have saved millions of lives over the years by preventing
diseases like polio, measles, and diphtheria from spreading. We
must keep vaccinating ourselves and our children to protect
against outbreaks.
