Answer 1

Answer: Vaccination provides immunity as well as it protects us from many of the communicable disease such as measles, whopping cough, chicken pox etc. Children should be immunized at their early age to be prevented from the disease. Vaccination enhances the immune system and make it strong so that it may fight with the foreign invaders in the body. Those children who are not immunized are at higher risk of developing diseases and they also transmit diseases to the people of lower immunity. So, to decrease the spread of communicable diseases such as measles, the guardians or parents should be fined if they won't get their children vaccinated.
