I had a similar experience, not with vaccinations but with Diapers. Few members of my family strongly believed that Diapers cause harm to the reproductive health of the child in the future. It was very hard for me to convince them that it is one of the best ways to keep my child hygienic and germ-free. They didn't believe me. They commented that I was lazy to clean up my child. However, I stuck to what I believed. I changed them regularly and cleaned him up to ensure that my child was free of infection or any diaper rash. I toilet trained him as soon as possible (2 years+3 months old). Now he is 3year old and never wets his bed at night.

All I want to say is stick to what you believe in. You don't have to explain anything to anyone. Vaccinations are the only way to offer protection to our children. I never missed any of his vaccinations listed on his immunization chart. What you are doing is good for your child.

India eradicated polio disease with its pulse polio campaign. The cases of polio recorded are very few today. It is because India managed to mass-immunize the public by creating awareness through media. This story is enough to tell the importance of vaccines. (Also, this is my knowledge and opinion on vaccines. I am not up here for a debate, and I agree with the author's point of view on vaccines.)
