Answer:

Those who cannot be vaccinated for childhood diseases will be safer if everyone around them is vaccinated because of something called herd immunity. So herd immunity means if everyone in the community is properly vaccinated, then there will be a small chance anyone in the community will get the virus, therefore the person who cannot be vaccinated will be safe because no one in that community will have the virus.
