vaccination

Immunizations are a hot topic in the media. Many proponents and opponents of vaccines have made their opinions known, sometimes without facts to back up their claims. Each year thousands of children are hospitalized by illnesses that could have been prevented had immunizations been administered.

It goes without saying that vaccines save lives. Many diseases that were prevalent in the past, such as polio and diphtheria, are becoming rare thanks to vaccinations. Yet there is one vaccination that has caused a lot of confusion yet has the propensity to protect against cancer.
