4. Side-effects are very rare.
There are a lot of horror stories out there that relate to vaccines and vaccinations, including stories of childhood cancer triggered by vaccinations – or diseases that were kickstarted by the vaccinations – but you’ll be glad to know that most of these stories are exactly that: Just stories.
Even though you might have read across a story about vaccination side-effects before, you’ll be glad to know that side-effects due to vaccinations aren’t nearly as bad as the anti-vaccine movement makes it look (in fact, side-effects, in reality, are almost none), and any other ill effects from vaccinations are exceptionally rare.
Just how rare? Only about 3 per million cases will ever show any side effects as a result of the vaccine. These are much better odds compared to the chances of contracting a condition such as polio if you aren’t vaccinated against it: It’s always better to get vaccinated – for your own safety and that of others!
