o Most people all over the world have access to information about vaccines, which sometimes can be incorrect that weakens their trust and faith in the use of vaccines. There is a myth about vaccines especially MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccination that causes autism. Scientists have not found any connection between vaccines (MMR) and autism. They do not know what causes autism, but they are still researching.

o Some people do not care about immunization in general. They do not care about the advantages or disadvantages. This most times is because of the way that the information is relayed to them. The tone that a person uses really emphasizes the point that they are trying to make. If the person that relays the information of vaccines uses a casual or playful tone, the person would think that being vaccinated or not is not something that is necessary.

o Some people lack will power to vaccinate and also cost and travel. Some people want to vaccinate but they are fearful of the outcome. Some do not have money to pay for the cost of vaccination and transportation to get vaccinated. ‘Black’ people have lower rate of vaccination than the ‘White’ people. Most people do not get the time to be vaccinated due to the number of inconsistent hours that they work. All these factors have been taken into consideration because some vaccinations, if not all are now free. They are also in a range that is more accessible for the people living in that particular area. Logically, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity that cost zero money than to wait and contract a disease that is preventable and curable with vaccines and be put into the emergency care that can most times cost thousands of dollars.
