Educated mothers are 50 percent more likely to immunize their children than mothers with no schooling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children with healthy mothers are much more likely to survive childhood, attend school and live healthy, productive lives.
Investments in immunization yield a rate of return on a par with educating our children - and higher than nearly any other development intervention.
What we know is that when girls don't go to school, they earn lower salaries. They get married earlier. They have higher infant and maternal mortality rates. And they're more likely to contract HIV, less likely to immunize their children.
In some areas, immunity has been eroded so much that the child who's not vaccinated is now actually more vulnerable to the complications of infectious diseases.
Making sure that mothers are educated means we can lift more people out of poverty and build a more inclusive and sustainable society.
Vaccinations absolutely work, and have dramatically decreased rates of childhood diseases.
Education is the vaccine for violence.
An educated child earns more later in life, knows how to keep their own children from dying, produces more food, is less likely to get AIDS, and in the case of boys, is less likely to engage in armed civil conflict.
Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
The risks are far greater to your child of not getting immunized than any kind of speculative potential relationship between the vaccine and the development of autism.
