What happens if a child is not vaccinated?

If a child who is not vaccinated is exposed to a disease, then the child’s body may not be robust enough to fight this disease. Before vaccines, many children died from conditions that the vaccines now prevent. These diseases such as polio are still around now, but because of vaccines, you don’t see these illnesses nearly as often.

Vaccine-preventable conditions can cause very alarming problems in society, especially the onset of premature deaths. You may also run the risk of spreading illness or sickness to another child, which is devastating. There may be a plethora of unsettling consequences if people are not proactive in vaccinating their children.
