Understanding Nonvaccination and Its Public Health Implications
Nonvaccination refers to the deliberate choice not to receive vaccines or immunizations, often for personal beliefs or reasons. This can be done by individuals, parents, or communities, and can have significant public health implications, as vaccines play a crucial role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Nonvaccination can lead to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough, which can be particularly dangerous for individuals who are not vaccinated, as well as for those around them who may be vulnerable to infection, such as young children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.
