Mother Shows Photos of Sick Daughter, Sparks Vaccination Debate

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Canadian mother shared photos on Facebook of her sick daughter in a hospital bed, sparking a discussion about vaccinations.

The mother uploaded the set of photos of her daughter, Isabelle, and said she has had a cough for six weeks because she is too young to be vaccinated.

The 10-week-old newborn has been in PEDS ICU approximately for a month at this point, her mother says.

The heartbroken mother took to Facebook to showcase the harm unvaccinated children can cause others.

"What you do with your kids is your choice but do not tell me that not vaccinating your kids isn't hurting anyone but your own kids," she wrote.

"Isabelle is proof that it harms the other little babes who aren't old enough to get their vaccines yet."
