Made in China
I'm a bit confused.
When you go to countries like China you always have to get certain vaccinations because they have diseases over there that we don't have in the US.
But how come you can easily bring things back with you and give gifts from other countries to people who have not been vaccinated? Won't that put them at risk of catching something?
Why is it that it's not dangerous to order gifts from other countries to the US but we have to get vaccines to go there?
Plus, so many things over here are made in China or other countries...

To simplify a somewhat complex answers; most germs need a living host to survive moving from one place to another. Germs do not survive long living outside a living host as they generally need the warm environment of the host. By getting vaccinated prior to travel we build up immunities to these germs and if infected while traveling our bodies kill off the infection generally without our noticing it.
Fruits and vegetables are another host for germs. We will not import food supplies from certain countries because there fruits and vegetables are not raised in a manner to keep certain germs from getting into the food. The same is true with certain meat, chicken and other poultry products produced in some countries because of how the animals are raised and diseases in those countries.
I don’t know if you remember the SARSA virus of a few years ago which caused a mini-pandemic. This was a new virus and we don’t have vaccinations against viruses. The body grows their own. The only way anyone had to control the outbreak was to control exposure. Some countries actually quarantined people coming into their country that had symptoms of the virus. Today SARS is still a problem but not what is was for those who travel extensively have built up an immunity to it.

Well many things that require vaccinations are caused only by if they enter an open wound.
For example tetanus. Its not like chicken pox or common flu-its not that contagious. You need human to human contact, or to be in the environment.
Also, if someone is infected with tetnus over there, they're probably not going to be in work. I know golden wonder make noodles in the uk now (I'n not American) but just pretend they still produced in china.
We wouldn't get tetnus because 1) The pack is not in the infected environment anymore
2) Its highly unlikely the product will arrive with blood on it. Even if it did it'd be dried so kill of any infection I reckon.
Also I guess its because you get the jabs because you'll be in the environment. However because the products exported from China (until recently topshop) have no immune system, anything on them will not survive being exported because germs die anyway after 24 hours.
There was me thinking will a start like 'I'm confused' the next line would read 'So there's this guy...'
