To Prevent Complications
If we do not vaccinate our own children then the diseases will be spread to other small kids who have not attained the age to be vaccinated or people who have a very weak immune system and are vulnerable to diseases. People suffering from cancer also have a weak immune and can easily get affected by these diseases as a result end up in suffering from certain long term complications that results in their deaths.

illnesses at bay.

allergies in children but the chances of these side effects are very minimal. Overall, the benefits of vaccines in the prevention of diseases are much more then the side effects that it may cause sometimes.
