It is almost beyond the comprehension of sane people that there should be organised opposition to vaccines. A special place should be reserved in Hell for the people who want to kill or maim children by preventing them from receiving vaccinations. This is a special case of health fraud, because most of the other sorts at least pretend to cure something. The sites listed here provide factual information about the benefits and risks of vaccines. (A list of anti-vaccination liars can be found at The Millenium Project.)

"Vaccine-preventable disease levels are at or near record lows. However, we cannot take high immunization coverage levels for granted. To continue to protect America's children and adults, we must obtain maximum immunization coverage in all populations, establish effective partnerships, conduct reliable scientific research, implement immunization systems, and ensure vaccine safety".
When the anti-vaccinators tell you that people are charged with shaking babies to death after only a cursory investigation, read this and see what really goes on.

GAVI – The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation
The global value of vaccination (Jennifer Ehreth)
"While most agree that vaccination is one of the most important public health practices, vaccines continue to be underused and undervalued, and vaccine-preventable diseases remain a threat to world health. Perhaps one reason this gap remains is that decision-making generally is made on a vaccine-by-vaccine basis. There has been less attention to the value of vaccination in general. To more clearly identify this value, this paper reviews the cost-effectiveness literature and calculates the annual benefits of vaccination on a global scale"
The Green Book (Department of Health (UK))
Latest information on vaccines and vaccination procedures for all the vaccine preventable infectious diseases that may occur in the UK.
Guide to Vaccinations: Costs, How-Tos and Their Importance

Then, you can protect yourself, your loved ones and the surrounding community. Learn more about how to pay for vaccines, how they work and reasons to vaccinate from medical professionals." (Note: This information applies to the USA. In other countries, eg Australia, many vaccines are free or heavily subsidised. You mileage may vary, but get vaccinated anyway.)
Immunisation (Australian Government Department of Health)
"Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases before they come into contact with them. Immunisation not only protects individuals, but also others in the community, by reducing the spread of preventable diseases."
