Immunization protects children from deadly diseases
Doctors urge early life immunization and a booster at school entry to shield a child from diphtheria, whooping cough, smallpox, polio, and tetanus, noting outbreaks have claimed many young lives. A vaccinated child gains protection as soon as exposed in the wider world among peers and adults.
Employers Benefit From Older Workers’ Skills
Many employers note older workers bring special skills and thorough training. They tend to have lower absenteeism and compete well with younger staff, except in purely muscular labor.
