I have seen vaccine-preventable deaths in babies and children and am so disappointed that we see diseases returning that had been eliminated in Australia.
I once picked up pertussis from a guy on a plane. My Tdap wasn't up to date.
My two boys have received all their childhood vaccinations to date. As a researcher, I know the evidence shows the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
Vaccines are such an easy thing to do! Less illness for whomever I come into contact with, and for me.
Herpes blisters threatened my eyesight. I got the shingles vaccine for protection from pain and blindness.
Almost 13 years ago, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I never want anyone else to go through that.
I was too busy for a flu shot one year, and was sick in bed for two weeks.
I believe that vaccines cause adults. By keeping up to date with my vaccinations, I'm protecting my family members and their futures.
I hope to protect the young ones against disease.
I immunize to protect myself and my family, especially my elderly father.
The year I had measles over 500 children died. Today, I no longer see wards for children with infectious diseases.
I want to make sure me, my friends, and my family are safe this season.
