Flu Vaccination Case Studies

Health care workers will continue to lower rates of flu vaccination. While certainly factors in the proliferation of the vaccine low rate, influenza, was identified as one of several factors that affect the cross-transmission of influenza disease. Other factors may include the failure of HCWs to comply with the universally low immunization rate and continues to infection control practices among all people. Research presented above is by vaccination; remove the perceived or actual barriers support the

“the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including diseases), and the application of this study to the control of disease and other health problems” (Epidemiology, 2015). There are different types of methods that can be used for epidemiological investigations which include: surveillance and descriptive studies, as well as analytical studies (Epidemiology, 2015). Influenza is a viral respiratory illness that is highly contagious (Influenza (Flu), 2015)

audience about the flu vaccine Central/Thesis Statement: Influenza (“flu”) is a contagious disease that spreads around the United States every year, usually between October and May. Method of Organization: Topical, Temporal, Spatial (see pages 135-140 in eText) Introduction I. Each year thousands of people in the United States die from flu, and many more are hospitalized. II. The Flu vaccine is known to reduce flu illnesses. Being aware of the importance of preventive care, the flu shot, can keep

healthcare professionals--studied the process by which flu vaccines are created: year round, viruses--new and old-- are under surveillance. The data collected from the surveillance is used by the World Health Organization to predict which virus strains will be the most prominent this coming flu season. Once these chosen strains have been collected in samples, the virus is multiplied in controlled environments. This virus does go into the vaccination, but the virus is either killed, meaning it won’t replicate

against the flu. Some medical professionals insist that vaccination against the flu can decrease death by fifty percent, while others provide evidence against such a claim. It is difficult to determine how many people die from the flu, who has the flu, and which strain of the flu someone has. There are over 200 viruses that cause flu like systems. In reality, researchers believe that only 7 or 8 percent of cases of people actually contract the flu that report systems associated with the flu such as,

In the elderly (P), does the flu vaccine (I) compared to no vaccine (C) reduce the incidence of the flu (O) during flu season(T)? Virginia Gamez NURS/HCPI 552: Scholarship Integration and Application November 23, 2016 Dr. Sharon Dormire Abstract Many elderlies are not being vaccinated against the influenza virus leaving them unprotected from this disease. The current practice is to treat patients for acute or chronic conditions and prevention is being forgotten. Patient charts and immunization

have been many claims that the influenza vaccination (flu shot) increases the risk of getting this disease. This has caused a great deal of worry in many people, mostly elders. They’re not sure if they should get the vaccine, or if their loved ones with dementia should continue to get the vaccination. However, before this claim was made, numerous people were getting the influenza

ethical and morality of flu vaccinations. This discussion is grounded whether or not flu vaccinations are necessary for individuals. METHODS: A search using PubMed, EBSCO, and Google scholar sources, academic textbooks, and some governmental agencies sites such as CDC and WHO will be utilized in order to better understand the topic and gain insights about the research that was performed. Articles were analyzed to better understand the cognitive process regarding vaccination rejection. RESULTS: Potential

in order to stop the spread of germs. For example, vaccination is recognized as the primary and most effective step for preventing influenza and its complications. In fact, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended the annual flu vaccines as the main step in protecting against flu viruses. Vaccination not only prevents you from getting sick but also prevents you from spreading the virus to others. As a consequence, the flu vaccine has benefits for both individuals and for

Can the World Beat the Flu? The flu, short for influenza is a virus often overlooked but caught by mostly everyone that is evolving every day. There are many different strains of the flu, and there are more and more being discovered as time goes by. This virus has had many outbreaks which have caused massive amounts of panic throughout the world. Although efforts on fighting the virus have come extremely far in recent years, it is only a matter of time until there is another outbreak. It is extremely
