Regarding getting vaccines in general (and these days the covid vaccine)...just a reminder...
"Since 1988, polio vaccine has prevented more than 10 million cases of paralysis. Since 1988, more than 500,000 deaths from polio have been prevented. The economic benefits of polio eradication are $40-50 billion through the year 2035 – over 80% of these savings will be in developing countries."
Measles
Prognosis. Most people survive measles, though in some cases, complications may occur. About 1 in 4 individuals will be hospitalized and 1–2 in 1000 will die. Complications are more likely in children under age 5 and adults over age 20.
Rubella
During the last major rubella epidemic in the United States from 1964 to 1965, an estimated 12.5 million people got rubella, 11,000 pregnant women lost their babies, 2,100 newborns died, and 20,000 babies were born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS).
Pertussis(whooping cough)
Clinicians generally treat pertussis with antibiotics, which are used to control symptoms and to prevent infected people from spreading the disease. Worldwide, there are an estimated 24.1 million cases of pertussis and about 160,700 deaths per year, according to a recent publication modeling these data.
