While many would like to skip vaccinations, Kristen Rundell, MD, a Family Medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, emphasizes the importance of vaccinations. As she explains, when everyone who is able gets vaccinated, it creates “herd immunity,” which ultimately protects everyone, including those unable to receive the vaccine, such as infants who are too young, or those who may be immunocompromised or allergic to vaccine ingredients.
