Vaccine refusal by parents???

Recently, we have a major issue that have been a serious topic to discuss everyday and the issue is about the parents refuse to give permission on their children vaccination. This is so hard to accept that nowadays parents refuse the things that give benefits for their children. What is the reason of this issue? How parents can make this decision? So, I think I can provide some reasons for this issue.

One of the common reason that parents give for refusing or delaying vaccinating their children is personal or philosophical reasons. Although only a handful of states allow exemptions for this cause, it must be carefully studied, as it may present opportunities for practitioners to enlighten parents regarding the urgency of protecting the children through preventive measures. Though it seems contrary to human intuition, there is a group of people who see some benefit in having their children contract certain preventable diseases.8 Some parents believe that natural immunity is better for their children than is immunity acquired through vaccinations.8 Others express the belief that if their child contracts a preventable disease, it will be beneficial for the child in the long term, as it will help make the child's immune system stronger as he grows into adulthood.8–10 Some parents believe that the diseases for which we vaccinate are not very prevalent so their children are at minimal risk of contracting these diseases.

Next, it is about the concerns about the safety of vaccines.Most of these concerns are based on information these parents have discovered in the media or received from acquaintances. Regardless of whether the stories stem from television, the Internet, radio, or from family and friends, parents are constantly bombarded with other peoples' opinions about vaccinations.All of this information can be overwhelming for some parents to sift through, making it difficult for them to make their own well-informed decision. Many of the reports and opinions that bombard parents and cause uncertainty are targeted at the safety of vaccines. They raise doubts about both short-term adverse reactions and the possibility of long-lasting negative effects.

As conclusion, actually there are more reasons for this issue but for me these two is the most leading reasons of why parents refuse to let their children have vaccines.However, parents should have awareness about this issue before something bad happen.
