Hepatitis Vaccines: A Case Study

East Hampshire Homes was a for-profit institution for a mentally retarded individual established by Jay and his wife, Leigh, a registered nurse. Leigh was the head of the mental homes and thus, was in charge of overseeing regulatory requirements as stipulated by the local, state and federal health welfare regulations. Leigh only identified Hepatitis B and blood-borne as the likely factors that East Hampshire Homes and nearby society may be exposed to, although the rate of exposure according to her was not at a risk state. Federal Occupation regulations mandated Leigh to develop a compliance policy that could safeguard the employees. On the other hand, OSHA authorized Leigh a discretion of developing a framework for classifying the tasks that

Jay and Leigh Carlos own the East Hampshire Homes, which is a small two home business, so they can properly care for mild-to-moderate mentally retarded patients (Borden & Cooper, 2002). They hired over 100 personnel to assist with everyday operations and to accommodate 23 beds and an adult day-care program for their occupants. Since Leigh presided over the medical services of their organization, she was aware and concerned of the risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens which also included Hepatitis B. As the amount of residents continued to increase at East Hampshire Homes, she carefully reviewed through the federal, state, and local laws pertaining to the health and safety regulations to ensure that her organization was in compliance

Lab test results show a positive anti-HCV and confirm that Chad has Hepatitis C. The nurse explains to Chad that Hepatitis is liver disease with inflammation of the cells of the liver. Chad states "I can't have Hepatitis. I had all three of the vaccinations before I started working as a paramedic."

As you think about making sure your children are ready to head back to school, don’t forget to make sure they’re up-to-date on their immunizations. Getting you or your child vaccinated is as easy as coming to the Grace Health System Walk-In Clinic. No appointment is necessary.

I believe the biggest dilemma for organizations that have serious regulatory issues is the potential that these regulations will affect profit or make these businesses unappealing for new entries. In Borden and Cooper’s 2002 case research journal, Jay mentioned the average industry yearly turnover rate was 35-40% and Hepatitis B vaccinations cost $180 per person. Taking this into account, 35-40% of their employees per year will need to be replaced and will require a $180 vaccination to conform to OSHA requirements. This would be a very costly regulation that would affect the company's ability to make a profit and stay in business. I also believe this regulation and others like it could affect entrepreneurs considerations to open new businesses

months within the first 24 months of life, and 1 in 4 children were overdue for at least 4 vaccinations. These outcomes suggest that although immunization

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.

Justice John Marshall Harlan questioned the court “Is this statute . . . inconsistent with the liberty which the Constitution of the United States secures to every person against deprivation by the State?” Justice Harlan went on to confirm that while the Constitution, specifically the 14th amendment, protected the individual liberty that this liberty is not an “absolute right” that created a situation where each person was “at all times and in all circumstance wholly free from restraint”. (Mariner, Annas, & Glantz, 2005). This created case law that stated that while the citizen was generally free from the involvement of the state within their

Each year about 50 employees call in to report that they are sick with the flu. That is 10% of DRS’s workforce. Depending on the severity of the employees symptoms, they may be absent between 1-5 days. The absenteeism interrupts DRS’s regular workflow and causes missed deadlines. This report is in response to the question whether flu shots are effective in preventing the flu and if there is a benefit for in holding a free flu shot clinic at

The study was published in the Heart British Medical Journal and took place in Sydney Australia between 2008 and 2010. The study attempted to look at the relation between Influenza and whether or not it was a precipitant to acute myocardial infarction. Potential population health benefited was identified as the vaccine effectiveness rate was 45% for patients at risk for ischemic heart disease (MacIntyre, 2015). This shows that vaccination efforts could possess secondary benefits beyond the primary purpose of vaccination.

Hepatitis E is an emerging viral infection able to cause chronic infection, and can lead to liver cirrhosis in immunosuppressed individuals. Currently ribavirin is the only treatment available, but some patients cannot tolerate this drug whilst others have infection with a ribavirin resistant virus due to a viral genetic mutation. Understanding an individual patients immune (T cell) response to HEV infection and how this changes during treatment is key to tailoring ribavirin treatment for an individual patient (optimum dose and length of treatment), and developing new therapeutic strategies such as T cell therapies to deal with HEV

Initial research conducted has indicated that there has been a significant decline in the frozen fruit trend following the 2014 hepatitis A scare. Publics no longer consider Nanna’s frozen fruit products safe to consume. Secondary research has confirmed this is greatly due to the processing and packaging of these products offshore and predominantly in China. Consumers have made a rapid shift to competitor’s products which are processed either in Australia or countries outside of China (ABC, 2015). The market overall has witnessed a significant decline with the frozen fruit trend following the hepatitis A scare. With the immediate pressure of the hepatitis A issue resolved, it is imperative to determine what the publics’ current perception of

The CDC’s website has a lot of information about the safety of childhood vaccines. Under the “Making The Vaccine Decision” tab parents can learn how vaccines work, vaccine safety and answers to common questions regarding vaccines. Right now, the United States has the safest vaccine supply in its history. The FDA ensures that vaccines are safe and effective for the public, as well as readily available. Before vaccines are released to the public, the FDA ensures that they are evaluated by highly trained FDA scientist and doctors. FDA also inspects the sites where vaccines are made to make sure they follow strict manufacturing guidelines. Many tests are run to ensure the safety of the vaccines, however, sometimes unexpected adverse effects happen.

Worked with Dr Zaidi at her family practice clinic during my rotation, under her supervision got a chance to exposed to wide varity of population including adult man, woman, children and geriatric population I used to take Patients histories and complete physical examination and discuss treatment options and preventive measures .Educate patient about preventive measures and let them know how important to keep oneself current to vaccination and importance of vaccination in children. Educate them about screening tests, and personalized counseling on maintaining a healthy

We had spent the next few months spending our time creating the vaccines and making sure that we were all cured, which basically meant that we were each being injected and having our blood regularly observed by many of the other scientists.
