Immunization Awareness For Children With Hiv

Childhood immunizations are extremely important to promote with expectant parents because it’s their vital decision to get their child vaccinated or not. Expectant parents need to be educated by health care workers about immunizations in order to completely understand how important they are for their newborn child’s health. Immunization accounts for

There are many health problems that we face globally and each of them are important for us to be aware of and to take precautions and measures to prevent and treat such diseases that affect our global population. HIV/AIDS is a disease that is spread through direct contact with body fluids from a person who is infected with the virus, these fluids include blood, semen, rectal fluid, vaginal fluids and breast milk. There are an approximate 35 million people living with the disease globally as of 2015 and about 1 million of those people are children under the age of 15 (Aids.gov, 2016). There are approximately 1.2 million people in the U.S. living with the disease and of those individuals many became infected with HIV by needle or syringe sharing,

They shouldn’t wait too long to explain this to children. Acording to Valerie Jarett As many as 22% of African-Americans with HIV do not know that they have the virus. Of new infections among youth,60% are among black youth, and over half of all HIV positive youth were unaware of their infection. It is a parent's job to teach kids how to protect themselves from HIV. You may think your child is not at risk. But according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) U.S. high school students surveyed in 2011,47.4% had ever had sexual intercourse 33.7% had had sexual intercourse during the previous 3 months, and, of these 39.8% did not use a condom the last time they had sex76.7% did not use birth control pills or Depo-Provera to prevent pregnancy the last time they had sex 15.3% had had sex with four or more people during their life

The prevalence of HIV in the African American community is unmatched by any other population. African Americans accounted for 49% of all HIV related deaths in 2010 (CDC, 2014). In my specialty area of family practice, I have encountered only one non-minority patient with HIV; all others have been African-American. This population needs to be of high consideration for disease education. African Americans are typically unaware of resources available to prevent the transmission of this disease, as well as testing available to them in their communities. African American children, especially, are at greater risk for HIV due to lack of knowledge and earlier age of engaging in sexual intercourse. They are typically unaware that their behavior can yield such a negative outcome (CDC, 2012). Many urban schools lack proper funding to accommodate a sexual education curriculum. It is of increased importance to raise awareness, educate and provide a plan of care for the African American teenage and adult population, as the incidence of this disease rises daily.

The article is written from a solid medical point of view. Using references from several medical professionals the author creates a sound argument of why parents should vaccinate their children. The article consists of very little if any spelling or grammatical errors, and is cited with creditable resources.

“At the end of 2013, an estimated 1.2 million persons aged 13 and older were living with HIV infection in the United States, including an estimated 161,200 (13%) persons whose infections had not been diagnosed (cdc.gov).” Many people report never experiencing any symptoms and don’t even know

Vaccination saves lives. The parent or guardian has complete control in safeguarding their child from effects of illnesses such as measles. Parenting a child is an enormous responsibility as the parent must learn the facts about the possible diseases that can affect their children (Romm, 2001). However, in the public health sector, the importance of vaccination seems to be underestimated. Some of these public health practices not utilized to their maximum capacity hence disease that can be prevented by vaccines primarily remain a threat to the child’s health. Suggestions were drawn that the gap remains because, within the health sector, the process done on a vaccine by vaccine basis. This paper will clearly define the importance of vaccinating children and bring to light the critical importance of vaccination to child development.

Children HIV-positive under the age of 13 are infected during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. This condition you can transfer it if you have it and is very sad if you give it to a in defenseless creature that does not have the chance to live or the opportunity to have a live with a good kind of life. Better treatment and prevention strategies have helped to lower HIV infection rates for children in the United States.

Immunizing children is a huge issue between parents, schools, daycares, and doctors all around the world. It is becoming more and more common for parents and doctors to blame health problems on the side effects of immunizations. I learned about the importance of this topic from working at a daycare. Over the past two years, we have had a few parents who are completely against immunizing their children and that causes other parents to be concerned with their children’s health. Children who do not get immunization are at a higher risk of getting sick and infecting other children that they are around. Every parent should get their children

Safety and effectiveness of vaccination are greater than therapeutic treatment. Efficacy rate for vaccination reaches 90% to 100% based on the research data (Carrillo-Marquez & White, 2013). The hypothesis for this research proposal is that delay or refusal of vaccination causes in recurrence of eliminated infectious disease and increase the risk of higher prevalence of infectious disease outbreaks in children and public.

The HIV and AIDS pandemic remains one the most serious development crises in the world (WHO, 2006). Women and children bear a disproportionate share of the burden, and in many settings continue to experience high rates of new HIV infections and of HIV-related illness and death. In 2005 alone, an estimated 540 000 children were newly infected with HIV, with about

Immunization can be defined as the process in which a person, typically at an infant age, is made immune to infectious diseases usually through the administration of vaccines. Doctors and healthcare providers recommend vaccainations to infants to protect them from common diseases that can be deadly especially to young children and infants. The process, as explained by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is referred to as the “4:3:1:3 series,” which represents the number of dosages of vaccines required to fend off diseases such as mealses, mumps, tetsnus, and many others (“Immunization”). In recent years there has been a movement mainly empowered by new mothers to forgo some or all vaccinations for their children. The following paragraphs will include an anylsis uncovering what has caused a decrease in vaccinations of children, as well as, exploring what effects this has had on the community.
