I've never NOT vaccinated, coming from an extremely pro-science family. However, I upped my vaccine advocacy game after my son received a heart transplant at eight months old. Since he cannot receive any vaccines that are "live", we depend on herd immunity to keep him alive. The more people that are vaccinated and are fully vaccinating their children, the less likely my son will contract a vaccine-preventable disease such as measles or pertussis.
