“My wife and I requested our vaccination at the earliest possible opportunity and are now fully vaccinated.
Dr A.M – GPV life member
The wonderful protection against serious illness and death which is provided by vaccination is one of the marvels of modern medicine. Smallpox, polio, influenza, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, whooping cough and meningococcal meningitis are all terrible diseases controllable by vaccination. The science is absolutely clear that these vaccinations save countless numbers of lives. It is true that when multi-millions of people are vaccinated, a minuscule few have adverse reactions. But the risk of adverse reactions is so small compared to the protective benefits, it is amazing that some people are still reluctant. The risk of adverse outcomes in childbirth or in anaesthesia for operations is much greater, but that does not deter people, nor should it. Just do it!”
