Best Answer

Vaccines prepare the body to fight off a certain illness or disease. There is a very small amount of the illness in the vaccination, causing the immune system to produce more antibodies to fight off those illnesses. Therefore, you're immune system develops an immunity to the illness or disease.

So, if one person develops an immunity to a certain illness or disease, it is highly less likely for them to catch that disease. If they don't get the disease, chances are high that their parents and family won't get it either. Basically, if one child is immunized, he or she reduces the exposure to a certain disease for all around him/her.

Hope this helps!
