My answer is influenced by my two professional degrees and more than forty years of clinical practice, but I absolutely believe that vaccination is mandatory to prevent deadly epidemics. I'm old enough to remember some of the most dreadful epidemics of the 20th Century. We don't need any more of those!
Bellerive
No it should not. While there is a good chance it will stop the spreading, distributing a vaccine does not guarantee the disease will not spread, and in some cases the vaccine makes the disease worse. It's best left up to the people to decide if it's worth it to them.
Meadowlands
It depends which disease you are taking about. A vaccination can help prevent you from getting the virus, but there could be multiple strains of the virus. Even if you have a vaccination there is a chance you could contract something, so I would say no.

How can a person obtain an infectious disease ?
Pettibone
Through the transfer of bodily fluids, from a bite or scratch, it could be airborne, or from inhalation.
Coffey
Orally, through bodily fluids, inhaling the disease...etc, etc. It depends on the infectious disease itself, though.
Lincolnville
Contact or shared air.

How can a nonliving chemical or virus cause infectious disease?
Barrington Hills
They can't. Pathogens are microorganisms - such as bacteria and viruses - that cause disease. Dead viruses can be used to protect us from an infectious disease. Even "killed" viruses are recognized by our immune system. Our immune system memorizes (using antibody memory cells) these dead viruses and plans an attack incase we are ever infected with the living version. Unlike human cells or bacteria, viruses do not contain the chemical machinery (enzymes) needed to carry out the chemical reactions for life. Instead, viruses carry only one or two enzymes that decode their genetic instructions. So, a virus must have a host cell (bacteria, plant or animal) in which to live and make more viruses. Outside of a host cell, viruses cannot function. For this reason, viruses tread the fine line that separates living things from nonliving things. There are two levels whereby chemicals cause disease, particularly cancer. The first is by direct irritation, causing change at the cellular and DNA level. A chemical that is a potential carcinogen [cancer causing agent] may actually bind to the DNA in the cell nucleus and/or in the mitochondria, thereby altering its structure and potential for normal duplication. It may also make the DNA more vulnerable to the same or other carcinogens. Cancer is not an infectious disease

Forest Hills
Yes it should. one on the greatest advances has been in the reduction of preventable infectious diseases
Green Acres
no - people are not cattle, they should decide with their own dr.
