Flu Shots Research Paper

Hi my name is Marah and today I am going to persuade you to get a Flu vaccination. I recently got a job working at Walgreens Pharmacy. Every day that I work I see people coming in to pick up their prescriptions that don’t look like the feel very great, with a tissue in one hand and their money in the other. No one wants to be sick, it’s not fun and it makes you feel like crap and you get absolutely nothing done. So it would only make sense if everyone was taking the precautionary measure in getting a flu shot. People should be lining up to get their vaccinations in order to prevent them from them getting sick and missing school, work or important events; but they aren’t, at Walgreens, we give maybe about 4 flu shots a day,

To get the flu vaccine or not to get the flu vaccine? This is a huge controversial question millions of Americans today ask themselves every year. There are many myths that come along with the topic of the flu vaccine that lead to people questioning the effectiveness of the medication. Safety for our families and loved ones is what we aim to achieve, but what are the pros and cons of this vaccine? What are the consequences and what are myths, but most importantly: what are the reasons we should get it in the first place? In this paper you will learn the many reasons for the flu vaccination and how it affects different populations beginning with children all the way to the elderly population. First of all, what is the flu

In 2018 there has been a new outbreak of the flu. This is due to the new strand of the flu, which caused the flu shot to not be as effective as it was in previous years. There has been controversy, as to weather you should get the flu shot or not. People who are against receiving the flu shot, have many reasons, such as they believe that it can cause other diseases, just straight up give them the flu, and few people believe that receive the shot can cause autism. The people who believe that they can receive diseases, the flu, and autism via receiving the vaccine, avoid getting it, and avoid giving their children the vaccine. I believe that these people have a false view of how the vaccination works, and that education on the flu shot is important,

The biggest problem with flu vaccines is the World Health Organization. Though countless studies show that vaccines created by them were connected to things such as cancer, autism, and death, they still stand by their views that vaccines are not hazardous. The World Health Organization recently had their MMR vaccine that treated Measles, Mumps, and Rubella connected to autism. They stated on their website “Based on the extensive review presented, GACVS concluded that no evidence exists of a causal association between MMR vaccine and autism or autistic disorders. The Committee believes the matter is likely to be clarified by a better understanding of the causes of autism”. On the contrary to the World Health Organization’s findings, there are families that were really

According to a research done by Dr. H. Fudenberg, an immunogeneticist, individuals who were regularly vaccinated with the flu shot, had an increased risk of Alzheimer’s by 10 times. This is a result, as the doctor elaborates, of the toxic

The Centers for Disease Control has very persuasive advertisements and really want to make people get out and get their flu shots so they can be as joyful and excited as the people in the ads. No one wants to be that one person that didn't get their flu shot and be stuck at home sick and feel like they are coughing out a lung.

Every fall season we hear the question; did you get your flu shot yet? It is supposed to protect you from that nasty flu virus that circulates our communities during the fall and winter months. But, did you know that in 2011 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Adverse Event Reporting Systems Website (AERS) reported 51 deaths caused by the flu vaccine in the United States (U.S.) (CDC,2012). According to National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), as of July 2012 there have been more than 84,000 reports of adverse reactions, 1000 vaccine related deaths and over 1600 cases of Guillain- Barre syndrome, a acute form of paralysis, triggered by the vaccine (NVIC.ORG).

As a result, the burden placed on the health care system is significantly reduced. Therefore, people at a high risk of contracting influenza should seriously consider being vaccinated. Evidence suggests that educating high-risk people about the influenza vaccine is worthwhile. For example, during the influenza season of 2000-2001, 70% of adults 65 years of age and older received the flu shot. This suggests

It’s late in the evening and a young boy hears his mother and father arguing. “Yes, he needs it”. “No, I don’t want him to have it”. What he doesn’t know is that his parents received a letter from his school stating that there has been a recent outbreak of influenza, or the flu. The boys parents are debating about whether or not they should get the flu shot for their young son, in an effort to prevent the flu. In the end, the mother wins the argument and the parents decide that their son should get the shot. A $30 dollar investment could ease the severity of the flu, and strengthen their son’s immune system as well. Debating whether or not to vaccinate children is a common topic between parents in the US. Vaccines are safe and effective,

In recent years encouragement to get flu shots has become a yearly mantra. Elderly, children six months to two years, health care workers and immune-deficient people are urged in the strongest terms to go to their doctors or clinics and get a flu shot. This group encompasses about 98 million people. In the fall of 2004 this was in the forefront of American and to some extent the Western World media with the shortage of this flu seasons vaccine. Current medical wisdom states that flu shots are safe, effective and prevent mortality. A recent study published by The Journal of the American Medicine Association (JAMA) has brought the current wisdom into question. On February 14, 2005 JAMA

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this narrative review is to discuss what influenza is? And what the ethical and morality of flu vaccinations. This discussion is grounded whether or not flu vaccinations are necessary for individuals.

During this time and period, vaccination has become an emotionally charged health issue among many families. Anti-vaccination groups believe that vaccines cause birth-defects and autism in young children, and many families are scared to get their children vaccinated. Studies have shown to disprove these side-effects to vaccination, however, parents are still not convinced and refuse to get their children vaccinated. Therefore, the Center for Disease Control organized an advertisement campaign to promote positive messages such as "Spread music. Not Flu.", "Shots aren't just for kids.", and "The FLU ends with U" to encourage vaccination.

This article was an interesting read because it took what was common knowledge, the flu and corresponding vaccines, and added to it. It gave us a brief background on the how and why people react to flu vaccines. Scientist have found that, “nine genes are tied to a strong immune response to the flu vaccine in people 35 and under.” This relation can help us predict whether or not the vaccination will work in certain people. Since we know if the vaccine will work or not, we might also be able to determine any outcomes, or bad reactions a patient might have. I have a personal connections to this because my brother dislikes needles with a passion; he is scared to get them and can’t stand anything related to blood. So, when we went to get our booster

Illnesses have long haunted the human race. As long as these illnesses have existed, humans have developed ways to cure themselves, beginning with simple herbs and proceeding as far as vaccines and complex medicines. One cure that long eluded scientists was that of the influenza virus. Now, the influenza vaccine, or flu shot, saves thousands of lives a year and helps prevent serious complications resulting from influenza infection.

Relating to the Audience: As college students, we cross paths with hundreds of people every day. With winter coming up, and illnesses running rampant, we are all highly susceptible to catching diseases such as the flu. With vaccinations, we can prevent getting these illnesses.
