Agree vaccination is the answer. Most are age can remember being vaccinated for polio and other diseases. Your parents just took you to the clinic for the shots and as they say “that was that”. Now some parents amazing think they know more than the doctors and scientists. Just read that it is estimated that fifteen percent of Americans have Trypanophobia (fear of needles). Interesting.
