Why Do You Refuse?

PUTRAJAYA: Most parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are those who live in the cities and are highly educated, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. S. Subramaniam today.

“The ministry has detected nearly 1600 children who did not get vaccinated last year and this figure is increasing every year”. By Bernama – July 28, 2017 @ 11:37 pm

Why do you think this is happening, what are the arguments for the refusal of vaccination?

I am truly believed that parents who refuse to vaccinate their children do not see the need to do one. They thought that it is unnecessary because there are not many diseases that will affect their children in future when in reality, we can never predict what kind of diseases will appear, even doctors.

This has become a worrisome because people who live in elite area refuse to do one when they are the one who should be aware of the importance of vaccination to their children. They are highly educated people and should have taken this as a serious matter because it involved the future of their children.

We are well aware that there are also some parents who delayed the vaccination process because of their children’s sensitivity. However, they also need to know that their children are readily available and it is okay to suffer now than later.

Education is a key player in equipping parents with the necessary information so that they can make responsible immunization decisions for their children.

No doubt that people who refused to get their children vaccinated are those who are highly educated. However, they do not have the aware to do so since they do not seek for advices from the doctors and pharmacists.

It is never wrong to seek for advices and take a short break from work to bring your children to the hospital for vaccination as it is for their own good.
