No, there are many misconceptions about vaccines and what they do and do not do. Vaccines introduce children to microorganisms so that they can gain immunity against what the vaccine has in it. Some vaccines are only needed to be administered once because they provide lifelong immunity, your child's immune system will recognize the infection if they get the same microorganism that they were vaccinated against. This reduces the length that they're sick, or prevents them from getting sick completely.

In the news there's many questions about whether or not vaccines cause autism, and so far all the studies show that they don't. And likewise few vaccines for children carry Mercury in them, and even then the ones that do are in such a low dose that it doesn't cause concern, you get more mercury from your diet than you would from a vaccine.

If you still have a concern whether or not your child should be vaccinated talk to your pediatrician unless your child has a severe illness they should be fine and you can adjust the times they receive the vaccine if you're really worried.

YES, ABSOLUTELY! I don't mean to scare you, but you are putting your child at risk of some pretty serious diseases if you don't vaccinate your child. Many diseases that used to be pandemic are now almost non-existent, especially in the US, thanks to vaccinations. But these diseases do still exist, some of which are extremely contagious, and if they make their way back to the US, whether next year or in 20 years, your child will be at risk if he or she has not received those vaccines. Other disease are less dangerous but are not fun to get, for the child or parent, such as chicken pox, for which I wish I had been able to get the vaccine but didn't (it hadn't been invented yet). You should consult with your health care provider before making any decisions and they will be able to recommend to you what is best for your child.

How a vaccination works is they insert a little bit of the virus it is blocking into you so that your body can learn to fight it and become immune to it. The only danger is that your body may be weak and you get the infection from this insertion. Overall, vaccinations are worth getting.
