Vaccination/Immunisation is vital !
Access to vaccines should not be a privilege - but a basic right!
Good luck @RobynPorteous - trusting all goes well and your little angel has few side effects!

Very aware as I prepare to take my 6 week old for vaccinations that it is a privilege to do so. And that even if we have a tough night because of it, it is a privilege to do so. Too many in the world lack access to healthcare; too many have been robbed of the chance to grow up.

English
The percentage of a population that needs to be vaccinated against an infectious disease to provide community immunity depends on how contagious the disease is, how effective the vaccine is, immunity gained from previous infections, population density, social mixing etc.
English
Immunity together. Community forever.
When people in a community are vaccinated against an infectious disease e.g. measles, whooping cough, mumps, diphtheria and flu, it becomes much less likely to spread from person to person.
