A Report On Pneumonia Vaccine

Protecting a child’s health is very important to parents! That is why they should vaccinate them as young children. All children should be required to have vaccinations in order to start school in every state. Each year about 85% of the world’s youth receive vaccines that protect them against several diseases like tuberculosis, pneumococcus, and many more. Even with great success and improvements with vaccinations, more than 3 million people die each year from

As of January, 85 flu related deaths have been confirmed since the beginning of the 2017-2018 influenza season. Each year we experience what is known as flu season, with new strains of the virus infecting millions of people each year, some years receiving a flu vaccine is not sufficient protection from developing the flu and flu like symptoms. The current 2018 flu season is a bad season. The vaccine that was developed and administered unfortunately was not correctly developed.

During every year everyone trembles in fear as a new and stronger strand of flu like sickness comes along. These viruses are met with vaccines that are swiftly made by the World Health Organization. The problem with the way that vaccines are made is, the World Health Organization not only makes the vaccines but also deems the vaccines safe. Since they are responsible for making and deeming the vaccines safe, mistakes can lead to mass deaths. For this reason there should be checks and balances where other agencies test the vaccines for potential threat of mental illness, dangerous ingredients, and death. This system is definitely due for an complete overhaul due to the lives of the families that are affected.

This paper explores Pneumonia and the respiratory disease process associated with bacterial and viral pathogens most commonly located in the lung. The paper examines the process, symptoms and treatments most commonly viewed in patient cases of Pneumonia. My goal is to educate the reader and to warn of the

The down fall to these vaccinations are the side effects. Most of them are mild ones such as redness, soreness, or inflammation of the injection site. Some others may cause nausea, fever, or things on them lines, but the bottom line is that you’re not going to get a much more serious disease that could

Negative- one negative aspect of the MMR vaccination program is that the MMR vaccine commonly induces side effects. Common side effects include

Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection which is caused by a bacterium called Streptococcus pneumoniae. Pneumonia is transmitted via air-borne droplets from coughing and sneezing, and it may also spread through blood. In 2015, pneumonia killed 15 percent of all deaths in children under the age of five, becoming the leading cause of death in children all over the world (World Health Organization [WHO], 2015a). Many efforts were made to reduce the prevalence of pneumonia, including the free vaccination program in 2011 against pneumonia in Kenya, which is supported by WHO and GAVI Alliance (WHO, 2015b). However, in 2012, Kenya was still ranked among the 15 countries with the highest number of deaths cause by pneumonia, suggesting problems with current policies (Onyango, Kikuvi, Amukoye, & Omolo, 2012). This paper will evaluate these existing policies and discuss potential solutions to overcome the epidemic of pneumonia in Kenya.

Many children in the USA remain unvaccinated and that could put a large number of people at risk. Throughout history, communicable diseases have proven to be a scourge on society, claiming millions of lives, especially the most vulnerable of humanity….

Thousands of people die each year due to infectious diseases. There are several vaccines recommended yearly in hopes of reducing the number of preventable infectious diseases. It is important for all people especially healthcare workers to understand how these vaccines are vital for infection control. The recommendations for annual flu vaccinations are increasing among healthcare workers around the world in order to improve infection control practices. Although, there are many factors that influence healthcare workers and adults in general perceptions about receiving vaccines in general. One’s knowledge, attitude, belief and healthcare coverage can affect their adherence to infection control practices. This purpose of this critique is to determine which to articles about the perceptions of influenza vaccinations among health care workers and adults in general, provide a guide to evidence based practice clinical decision making.

The paper written by Ronald Bailey in 2013 touches on multiple areas of vaccines. His principle purpose, however, was signaling out a specific faction of people. People who choose either to not vaccinate themselves or even worse, not allow their children to be vaccinated. Bailey invokes former supreme court justice Oliver Holmes with his quote "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."(Holmes 1915) simply put, one runs the risk of hitting someone with what they've got. In this case, a preventable malady. Bailey usage of words denotes that herd immunity just isn't enough and people need to act more responsibly.

Before introduction of PCV-7 in the Netherlands, overall invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) rates were 35 cases/100,000 children <2 years of age, of which 15 cases/100,000 children were meningitis (7). After PCV7 introduction, IPD caused by vaccine serotypes declined in all ages (8). Nevertheless, diseases caused by non-vaccine serotype increased (9). In May 2011, PCV10 replaced PCV7. It caused a decrease in PCV10 IPD incidence in PCV10-eligible children (10). In all age group, pneumococcal pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease hospitalization and death reduced in 2005-2006 season in United States (11). Irrespective of this large fall in IPD disease, a leading question is whether vaccination with PCV7 and PCV10 have an impact in reduction of non- invasive pneumococcal infection. A double blind randomized controlled study (12) showed that illness episodes in children greater than 1 month reduced by 7% among those vaccinated with 9-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine, where 85% of episodes were related to respiratory tract and 15,16 and 17% were observed in upper respiratory infection, lower respiratory tract infection and otitis media respectively in day care centers. Reduction of pneumococcal pneumoniae in younger and older adults was imputed to herd immunity. Most vaccination are

“A 1916 Polio epidemic in the United States killed 6,000 people and paralyzed 27,000 more” (“Polio Vaccine”). This lead to the creation of the polio vaccine that has helped to prevent polio for a very long time. The IPV and OPV vaccines played a huge role in all of this. Jonas Salk, who created the IPV vaccine and Albert Sabin, who created the OPV vaccine saved millions of people all around the world from polio (Petersen, Jennifer B). The IPV and OPV polio vaccine helped eliminate polio from the United States and helped prevent polio in other parts of the world (“Polio Vaccine”).

Kenya is situated right along the equator, on the eastern coast of Africa. Its coastal region is southeast, and to the east lays Somalia. Ethiopia is to the north, the Sudan to the northwest, and Uganda directly to the west. The southwestern border of the country is marked by Lake Victoria, and southward lays Tanzania.
