Still Get The Everyday Diseases
 People who get vaccinated still get the everyday diseases. It doesn't mean that vaccines don't work. It just means they're not perfect. In the rare incidence of an outbreak, a certain number of vaccinated people will get sick. And because there are so many more vaccinated than unvaccinated people in this country, the immunized people who get sick are likely to outnumber the non-immunized.
Individual's Chances Go Down
To see how this works, imagine that measles strikes a school of 1,000 students. Of the 995 who have been vaccinated, 10 become infected, while among the unvaccinated children, all five get sick. So although more vaccinated students got measles, an individual's chances of coming down with the disease were much lower if he got the vaccine — about 1 percent — than if he didn't (100 percent).
American Medical Association
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that during a measles outbreak, unvaccinated people were 35 times more likely to get measles than vaccinated people.
No vaccine guarantees immunity to everyone who is vaccinated.
Best Chance Of Protection
For reasons we don't understand, some people who are vaccinated will not become immune and will remain susceptible to the disease. But vaccination still offers the best chance of protection from infectious disease.The best way to prevent these diseases is good nutrition and living a good healthily lifestyle.
