If you’re among the anti-vaxxers or religious right who think that vaccinations aren’t right, it’s a personal choice or religious belief to not vaccinate your kid or yourself against an easily avoidable disease. But these same folks will then worry endlessly about whether a migrant from Central America is vaccinated? Because they might get infected?

Here’s a clue. If you want to avoid problems, get yourself and your family vaccinated. Ignore the anti-vaxxer nonsense. That way you protect yourself and your family - and everyone else you come in contact with (via herd immunity) including those who can’t get vaccinated because of ailment, age, or infirmity.

Besides, if you rely on “Herd Immunity” you are actually taking from those people who got vaccinated and now are responsible for protecting your health because you just want to be a taker.
