Summary Introduction
To review:
If the parents should be allowed to opt out of vaccination.
Introduction:
The vaccine is referred to a biological preparation, which is given to a person, in order to achieve an acquired immunity against the disease. A preventative vaccine is a type of vaccine, which is given to a person when the person is unaffected by the pathogen. In preventative vaccination, an inactivated part of the pathogen is inserted into the body. The body recognizes the foreign body (inactivated pathogen) and manufactures antibodies against it.
