I find vaccines expensive. What should I do? Government health establishments offer free vaccine administration. However, the vaccination schedule and administration are based on the national immunization guidelines. You may not have the option of painless or certain optional vaccines. 13 Do so many vaccines overwhelm the child’s immune system? Right after birth, the baby is exposed to thousands of viruses and bacteria as part of their daily life while growing up. No one knows how many germs a baby’s body can tolerate, but vaccines do not expose them with a substantial amount of germs. As per many experts, "worrying about getting germs from a vaccine is like worrying about getting wet from a drop of water while swimming in the ocean!" 14 also the children around them.This is called herd immunity. Mandatory vaccination helps in building that immunity and is the most practical solution. Imagine vaccination not being mandatory–many people would forget, put it off, and not get vaccinated. It would lead to lower herd immunity levels leading to community outbreaks of the diseases, putting many lives at risk. 37
