Immunization Studies

Increasing appropriate vaccination program has been initiated focused implementation of health care system and community services. Effectiveness of increasing vaccination rate in targeted population has been proven by research and data. Recommendation includes the health care providers to offer educations and reminders for clients. Additional strategies of implementation include accessibility of vaccination such as reduced cost and providing expanded access in clinics. Home visit can also be offered for immobilized clients. Standing order is another strategy that has been recommended in this program. Under the state law and approved protocol by the institution, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care professionals can administer vaccination

Andrew Wakefield and other 12 co-authors published a study in the Lancet in 1998 that suggested a relationship between measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) and autism. In other words, Wakefield and associates suggested that the vaccine for MMR could predispose children to autism. The paper received massive publicity despite the researchers having used a sample size that was not representative (n=12), the research design was uncontrolled as well as conclusions being speculative (Sathyanarayana Rao & Andrade, 2011). Consequently, the vaccines for MMR plummeted since parents feared that vaccinating their children against MMR could predispose their children to autism.

Wakefield carelessly carried out aggressive test on the children under his care and had no concern for the children or how they would be affected. His study also spread panic and insecurity about the vaccine along with causing parents of children with autism to feel guiltiness and blamed their selves for their kids’ illness. Wakefield’s unethical researcher has affected people all around the world. Britain vaccination rates, along with United States, plummeted

The information in the article supports the view of anti-immunization and is published by a private organization. The article is based off scientific view point and does not suggest any purchases. The choice of wording used suggests the author believes his scientific findings support his opinion and he uses the information to relay his thoughts.

First described by Karl Landsteiner, a hapten is a small molecule that can elicit an immune response only when it attaches itself to a larger carrier molecule, usually a protein creating the hapten-carrier adduct or hapten-carrier complex. This complex then has the ability to become immunogenic. Haptens react specifically to the antibodies created against it and while the hapten, alone, cannot cause antibodies to respond it, it can bind with antibodies and act as an antigen. An example of a substance acting as a hapten is penicillin. When administered as an antibiotic, penicillin can bind with proteins in the body to form a hapten-carrier complex and cause anaphylaxis. Another example is urushiol, a toxin found in poison ivy. During exposure, urushiol can bind with skin proteins creating a complex that then can cause dermatitis.

Some people today think getting vaccinated is dangerous and choose not to do so. Some people also worry about getting autism when being vaccine, yes it could happen but it is a very small risk. When people decide not to get vaccinated they are taking a risk catching diseases that can be life threatening. People should be vaccinated in order to try to eliminate disease. People should be vaccinated to prevent disease from spreading, possibly extending one person’s life, and to protect from being infected. Even if people get vaccinated they can still become ill, but the illness may not be as bad compared to not being vaccinated. (Martinuk).

The down fall to these vaccinations are the side effects. Most of them are mild ones such as redness, soreness, or inflammation of the injection site. Some others may cause nausea, fever, or things on them lines, but the bottom line is that you’re not going to get a much more serious disease that could

Helpless and unaware, a young girl had her life ripped away in an instance. Holly, a five year old received her second dose of the MMR vaccine; a school required vaccine for kindergarteners, a week after her fifth birthday. Prior, Holly received the MMR vaccine and others when she 16 months old and reacted to them for seven straight weeks after. Her pediatrician told Holly’s mother it was normal and to continue vaccinating. In addition, her mother claims she was given no information to recognize side effects. Resulting from her second dose of the mandatory MMR vaccine, the little one’s brain subjected to irreversible damage and her body went through convulsions. Doctors told Holly’s parents that Holly’s vegetative state could not be reversed. With only five years of life with their beloved daughter, Holly’s parents had to make the decision to take their daughter off life support (naturalblaze.com). It was confirmed Holly died from acute encephalitis caused by the MMR vaccine.

Wakefield published a study on the effects of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)-vaccine, specifically the “mercury” based and the vaccine instigating the onset of autism (Wakefield para 3). Wakefield’s study involved 12 individuals whose medical background was altered in order to support his study (Goodlee para 2). After 12 years of Wakefield’s research being published, his findings were found to be inaccurate. Many doctors and scientists alike have proven his theory wrong, causing the magazine that published the article to fully retract it (Goodlee para 2). However, the damage caused by Wakefield’s false findings has yet to be undone. The number in vaccinations dropped and the number of deadly diseases ultimately rose (Goodlee para 8). Despite study after study proving that Wakefield blatantly falsified his findings, many parents including, celebrities like Jenny McCarthy, continue to advocate against vaccinations and blame the MMR-vaccine for her child’s autism diagnosis.

Twenty-seven states have exemptions from vaccinations for either religious or personal reasons (citation needed). The issue of respecting people’s rights is a fundamental issue. But it is also a major ethical issue, pitting the wishes of individuals against the needs of the community. Immunization by vaccine saves enumerable of lives (is there a way to cite this?). Due to the protective benefits of vaccines, it is essential that as many people as possible receive vaccinations. There should be as few obstacles as possible to such a program in order to save as many lives as possible. Many argue that the government should not be able to force an individual to be stuck with a needle. Additionally, many explain that it is their personal choice,

Immunizations are an important thing to get to protect your babies and children from contracting and spreading diseases. According to the California Department of Public Health, measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccinations are more than 97% effective in preventing measles (California Department of Public Health 2015). Erwin Chemerinsky is an American lawyer and law professor. Michelle Goodwin is a lawyer and has a medical background. This supports the claim by stating the effectiveness of receiving the vaccination. It has been shown to be affective when receiving the immunization. This information will support my argument using logos.

Based on the review criteria, your thesis takes the position that all infants and children should be vaccinated. First, I find your thesis suitable and able to be supported within the length requirements of the paper. Secondly, I believe your thesis clearly indicates the intention of your paper, and that chosen your supporting ideas adequately defends your paper’s stance on vaccinations. Thirdly, in effort to strengthen your thesis, I would also highlight the consequences of contracting the aforementioned diseases. Finally, in addressing your concern, If you feel your topic is too broad, perhaps you should pick three definite reasons as to why all infants and children should be vaccinated. That way you can reduce the topic by focusing on key

The two passages both had equally supported statements, Although it is the readers decision to decide on which passage he/she is content with. The initial passage make an exceptional point about the importance of the immunizations, both for he individuals and the community. The second passage also makes some decent points, related to both individual freedoms and the safety of vaccines. However , as a whole , the first passage makes a stronger case.

Vaccinations and immunizations are given by injecting a small sample of a known virus into the human body to strengthen the immune system. The body will fight off and become immune to the virus, no longer being able to contract the disease that the virus may cause. Although science has proven time and time again that vaccines are here to help our safety and us, some people are still skeptic about them and refuse to be vaccinated. This choice puts others at risk. Misinformation about vaccinations may be the underlying cause of the fear that pushes people to refuse vaccinations. Some people are afraid of contracting diseases after getting vaccinated, and others are afraid of other side-effects that vaccinations may cause including brain

Working in the line of healthcare and prevention, we are encouraging people to get flu shots to help prevent them from getting the flu and it is the same with immunizations. There is a lot more to what we but to me this is an example of what Deming is trying to point out in what causes problems in quality. Technology, is one of the thing that is ever-changing in our workforce. Computer’s lifespan is approximately 5 years, and if we have employees using updated computer and other technology then essentially we are slowing down production. Therefore we have developed a plan to recognize that issue and have worked to be able to prevent that from happening by rotating site’s computers to be updated between 4-5 years, and for the computers not
