Many people, including the FDA and almost the entire medical field, believe that vaccinations are safe and one of the greatest health developments of the 20th century. Several illnesses, including rubella, diphtheria, and whooping cough, which once killed thousands of infants annually are now prevented by vaccination. 

Nonetheless anti-vaccination propenents exist and are encouraging more parents than ever to NOT vacinate. They argue that children’s immune systems can deal with most infections naturally, and that the possible rare side effects of vaccination, including seizures, paralysis, and death, are not worth the risk of safeguarding against non-life threatening illnesses.
