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.
