There are people who have their kids get every vaccine and then there are who are anti-vacs. Are there benefits to not getting vaccines? Or should all people be vaccinating themselves and children?

Could those who get sick do to not being vaccinated allow for mutations to occur in a virus, therefore leading to a new possible outbreak?

Vaccines prevent infectious diseases.  People who choose to not get a vaccination or to not vaccinate their children are relying on the rest of the population that is vaccinated to stay save.  Not really fair.  Unfortunately, because of vaccines, people not longer see these infections.  So they might think that these infectious diseases no longer exist or happen.  They are wrong.  The reason why people no longer see these diseases is precisely because of the vaccine.  

that is always a possibility
