4 Reasons Why It’s Important to Get Vaccinated

Internist Dr. Holly Phillips shared with Inside Edition four reasons why it's important to get vaccinated. She said that measles, mumps and whooping cough are still a threat to kids in the U.S., and can result in hospitalizations and death. She added that side effects to vaccinations are “very uncommon and they're much less severe than the diseases they prevent every year.” Adults who get sick from vaccine preventable diseases aren’t able to care for those who depend on them.
