Vaccines are beneficial in that they have helped prevent millions of cases of infectious disease, and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Vaccines have eliminated the scourge of smallpox from the face of the earth, and polio and other diseases have been largely controlled.
A vaccine acts by stimulating a person's own immune system to produce antibodies against parts of a bacterium or virus. When the person is once again exposed to that bacterium or virus, the body can quickly produce antibodies and prevent infection.
In addition, vaccines can protect individuals who have not been immunized. If the percentage of the population that is vaccinated is high enough, epidemics can't take hold, as there are not enough susceptible individuals for the infection to spread. This helps to protect those individuals who are either unable to take the vaccine, unable to mount an immune response (chronically illl individuals, infants under 6 months old, people on immunosuppressant medications), or who had a poor response to the vaccine (and didn't become immune).

How can microorganisms be beneficial?
Microorganisms are the basis of every food chain on the planet. Were it not for them, we would starve. Even if we had food to eat, we would be unable to digest it, because we need the bacteria in our gut to help with that. I'd say that alone covers "beneficial," but there are hundreds of other uses for them from cleaning up oil spills to creating vaccines. And on....

Are vaccines beneficial for the majority of children?
Indeed, vaccines ARE beneficial for the majority of children. Vaccinations have nearly wiped out many contagious diseases -- unless parents did not vaccinate their children. MMR--measles, mumps, rubella (German measles)-- is one. Small pox another; polio containment a HUGE achievement. Besides deformities, like from polio, and years of medical treatments, many of these contagions resulted in death for babies and young children.
Why some people think vaccine is unnecessary unnecessary?
It depends on the vaccine. A body manufactures certain antibodies naturally. Most vaccines such as TDAP, and smallpox are not found naturally, so of course, if you are going to be exposed to smallpox or pertussis, you want the vaccine. Other vaccines, such as the flu vaccine, is not necessarily beneficial because most flu vaccines only protect against the five most common strains (there are thousands of flu viruses). However, if a child is too young to have developed immunity naturally, or if an adult is too old for his immune system to fight strongly, the flu vaccine is beneficial.
What are edible vaccines?
