Jabbed: Love, Fear and Vaccines(2013)

To vaccinate, or not? What would you do to protect the ones you love?

Jabbed: Love, Fear and Vaccines is a documentary examining the global rise of vaccine hesitancy and its deadly consequences. Once-eradicated diseases are returning as parents delay or refuse childhood immunizations, leaving preventable conditions to claim lives across the world. The film explores the complex psychology behind vaccine reluctance—from complacency to genuine safety concerns—while acknowledging that rare cases of vaccine injury do occur. By investigating both the scientific evidence and the emotional fears driving hesitancy, Jabbed presents a nuanced look at how misinformation, parental anxiety, and legitimate questions intersect in the vaccination debate. The documentary reveals how personal choices about immunization ripple outward, affecting entire communities and reviving illnesses thought to be history.
