Doctors Having Doubts About Vaccines

In the Los Angeles Times there is an article written by Eryn Brown, about doctors having doubts about vaccines. Parts of the U.S. have had waiting rooms filled with people who have the flu, but California is not one of them, do far. However Police Officers say that it may not last for long, because California is also beginning to catch the flu. People don't have to be afraid there is still precautions people can take in order to not get sick or spread the flu. They may wash their hand s and if sick they should stay home in order not to spread germs. Many are afraid that there is not enough room for people in the waiting rooms and others felt like vaccines are not a safe alternative to not catching the fl. However, years of evidence have shown that vaccines are near perfect. People do not get vaccinated as often as they should or even at all, and "the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention reported in November that fewer than half of American children and adults were immunized during the early part of the flu season". Two doctors,  Thomas R. Talbot and H. Keipp Talbot of the Vanderbilt University Department of Medicine in Nashville, told  LA Times, about many excuses people use for not getting vaccinated, and their arguments against those excuses. People may argue that some vaccines are not as effective as other, but the two doctors argued that not as effective not mean not effective at all. Some may also say that vaccines get people sick right after they have received the shot, but the doctors argued that the vaccine causes the illness, the illness is caused because of the vaccine not having time to make one's body immune to a disease. Some may also say that they are healthy and never get sick and therefore do not need the vaccination, but the doctors argued that even though some may be healthy and do not get sick or sick like symptoms, they still can pass the virus onto other. So the key message from this article is get immunized now.
