Childhood Vaccines

Vaccines are the treatment that helps the human body produce an immunity against certain diseases. Most people in the US have gotten some kind of vaccination in their life and routinely get check ups. But some people in the US have not gotten vaccines at all because of their parents not getting vaccines for them or because they don’t believe that vaccines actually work. Parents and adults also think that the ingredients might harm them or the child, or even give the child a genetic disorder. Getting vaccinated is essential to human beings. It provides protection to the body against many deadly diseases. Vaccines are great for protection against diseases

The article in the textbook concerning child vaccinations touches on the importance of vaccines and some of the reasons why children aren’t vaccinated. Vaccinations are very important to prevent diseases; the injection is a small dose of inactive virus to allow the body to guard itself against the disease. Some common beliefs are that children who are vaccinated are at risk of chronic illnesses which the textbook reveals that these illnesses have no correlation to the vaccinations. Another reason why children aren’t vaccinated is due to income, poverty levels affect the children who are not vaccinated because the families cannot afford them.

Believe it or not vaccines are very important to human health. The risks of getting a communicable disease are reduced greatly when the people around you are properly vaccinated. Vaccines cause the human immune system to produce disease fighting antibodies without causing the disease to itself. By developing new vaccines scientists and health care workers have been able to stay a step ahead of communicable diseases.

Vaccinations are a preparation given to patients that provides acquired immunity to a specific disease. They contain either a live, weakened part or an inactive form created from a dead version of the viruses, causing the body to produce antibodies that will attack the virus if the body later comes into contact with the disease. A person can reduce the severity or eliminate the contraction of the disease completely. However, vaccinations have become a controversial topic and parts of the population refuse to get vaccinated. The result is a reduction in vaccinations, causing epidemics of deadly and highly communicable diseases once virtually eliminated due to vaccinations. Although some possible negative side effects to immunization exist, the benefits to the vast majority of people outweigh the rare risks.

In a recent analysis, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that in the United States, the vaccination of children between 1994 and 2013 will prevent over 300 million illnesses and save approximately $1.4 trillion in future societal costs ("Should Any Vaccines", 2015). For this reason, vaccines were considered one of the ten great public health achievements in the United States ("Ten Great Public", 2011). By and large, Americans live their lives free of many of the communicable diseases that caused great hardships in the past (Ehreth, 2003). Over the past ten years however, questions concerning the safety and the best number of injections of recommended vaccines have some experts worried about the continued success

There is an extensive list of all the vaccines, what diseases they prevent and the symptoms and complications that are associated with these diseases. By receiving this information alone can convince a person to have their child vaccinated.  Below is listed the vaccines and what the disease can cause according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for Vaccines and Immunizations:

Vaccines are products that produce immunity from a disease and can be administered by injection, by mouth, or by aerosol. Getting vaccinated is a safe and effective way to keep you healthy and prevent you from catching the many dangerous diseases lurking in the open world. Here in the United States, vaccinations are required. Therefore, it is scientifically evident that vaccines are highly beneficial.

There is a lot of controversy among people about whether children should receive vaccines or not. The percentage of people that don't trust the vaccines have received false information about the dangers of children getting vaccinated; however, vaccines save millions of lives worldwide. Vaccines for children are important for today's society because they reduce them from acquiring fatal childhood diseases, several can be joined in one syringe, and are safe and effective.

Vaccination is a preparation of antigenic material that can be used to stimulate the development of antibodies and thus confer active immunity against a specific or number of diseases. It is a medical treatment administered to an otherwise healthy individual. Virtually all other invasive medical interventions occur only once someone has called ill. Vaccination, like most medical treatments, can involve some risk. And therefore it should be undertaken only after careful consideration of its risks versus its benefits. The first vaccine was developed in 1796 by Edward Jenner, to prevent the effect of a deadly diseases called smallpox. The demonstration proved to the science community that it worked and the support for vaccination grew and became mandatory. In this generation we are seeing more vaccines given to more children at a younger age than ever before in history. As the number of vaccines given to children increased, there has been a rise and moderate to severe Asthma, seizures, diabetes, and food allergies diagnosed with autism. There are a lot of viral material in vaccination such as DNA, Foreign DNA, Animal DNA most commonly green monkeys and chicken and all the kind of DNA we are not eating but injecting into our bodies. Do we really know what we are creating? And do we really believe help can only come through vaccine and that it is safe and effective? There is zero scientific prove of that and yet the FDA and CDC approved it and continues to support it to benefit

Vaccinations are considered to be one of science’s greatest feats. The World Health Organization estimates that immunization prevents 2 million deaths worldwide and according to Immunize BC, “[vaccinations] have saved more lives in Canada than any other medical intervention in the past 50 years”. Vaccinations work by transmitting a small amount of germs - or parts of a germ- into the patient. These germs cause the body to create antibodies in order to rid and protect the body of the foreign intruder. The germs are consequently destroyed and the antibodies remain in your body, now prepared to protect the body if it comes in contact with the full blown disease. As of now, the only disease that has been eradicated is smallpox, thus saving 5 million lives annually (Immunize BC, 2012). The constant research and observation of vaccines and their consequent role in immunization have led to the suppression of occurrences of various diseases. Epidemics of diseases such as measles and whooping cough, that prevailed less than 100 years ago have decreased to rare cases scattered around the continent.

Families of today have the dream of having children which entails keeping them healthy, surrounding them with a safe environment, and a flourishing economy to be able to provide for their every need. Which brings back the term vaccines which is not only proven to help save money, it also protects an individual from harmful preventable diseases and ensures for a more safer environment. Vaccines have been around the world for years and in the time of their existence have done so much good for humanity. They have eradicated outbreaks of infectious diseases and have continued to prevent them, prevented numerous deaths of young children and adults and lastly have given children a chance at life that could have been easily taken away. Preventative

Vaccination is a necessity that most citizens are recommended to receive during their life. Some adults believe that vaccination does more harm than good, on the contrary it will help saves lives. It is a way to prevent diseases in your body before it happens; it provides people with life long protection against diseases. The single most important invention in world history is vaccination because it can save lives, eliminate diseases, and can save money and time in the long run.

Inside a vaccine for a certain illness, you will find weakened or deceased pathogens of that disease. The purpose of the vaccine is to inject these weak forms of the disease into you so that your immune system can learn how to fight it off, as if it were a real attack, when in truth it is not. This will prepare you in case you become exposed to the full-fledged form of the virus, and you’ll be safe because your body already knows how to handle the problem, thanks to the vaccine. We receive vaccines for things like polio, smallpox, chicken pox, or whooping cough. If we take the time to vaccinate ourselves, we can greatly reduce the risk of getting sick and missing work, school, activities, and fun things with friends. I would rather go out and have fun than lay in bed sick all day. Vaccines can help prevent some (but not all) communicable diseases. A communicable disease is defined as one that can be transmitted from one person to another. It has the ability to “communicate.” That is one of many reasons why vaccines are important.

There are many viruses and diseases that cause many people to become sick. Viruses and diseases can be contagious and some may even be deadly. Vaccines are a way to make sure that they are stopped and prevented in order to keep people safe and healthy. It is important for a person to be properly vaccinated in order to protect them from a disease, to prevent from spreading disease to other people and reduce the number of people who are at risk for a communicable disease.

Although vaccination cannot protect them from getting sick entirely, but it was considered the best method to help reduce dangerous diseases in children. Vaccination is a way for parents to protect children from these pathogens, prevention of illness and reduce the lowest rate of death from disease in children.
