Pro Vaccination Cons

There is approximately 1,000 infants die each year as a direct result of the DTP vaccine. Approximately 35,000 acute neurological reactions occur within 48 hours of the shot. (www.tuberose.com). Doctors, FDA, and CDC are all telling us the vaccines are safe, but are they really. I visited a site called the Tragedy of Vaccinations and in this site it had pictures and a list of names of children who had a severe reaction to vaccinations, first on the list was a boy name Chris- Christopher died 21 hours after receiving his first DPT and OPV vaccination at two months of age. Second, Ashley- 72 hours after receiving her 4th DPT and OPV and HIB, she was hospitalized with encephalitis and kidney failure, she is severely mentally and physically handicapped. Third Richell- 10 hours after her 3rd DPT and OPV she suffered a grand mal seizure, she is now mentally and physically handicapped (www.yourlifesource.com) and the list went on. These are only a few of the thousands of children who suffer from mental and physical handicaps and who have died from these so called routine vaccinations. I would guarantee you that the parents of these children would argue that vaccinations are not safe by any means.

In the past, Americans did not have much say in their own health care. In today’s time, with the advent of new health-care bills and peaked interest in personal well being, Americans are now anxious to determine for themselves what they need to maintain their own and their loved ones’ health. However, there are still government-regulated requirements for people of all ages in regards to keeping the general public healthy. Vaccinations have always been a topic of contention in regards to younger children, but have been a staple of health for older adults. In fact, college requirements for vaccinations are mandatory, and failure to get the proper vaccines before college starts could result in holds on college students’ accounts or delays in

Some believe immunization can cause autism, brain damage, multiple sclerosis, seizures, or life-threatening anaphylaxis. While it’s best to show respect for these opinions, I simply disagree and am guided by evidenced-based data that illustrates no link between the dangers listed above and immunizations (Vaccines & Immunizations, 2010). According to CDC, there are several different types of studies pertaining to, maintaining and ensuring the safety vaccines including clinical trials, laboratory tests, and animal studies. There is constant monitoring of the safety of vaccines from scientist, along with federal government, state, and local health departments, other partners, and the public. CDC also monitors the safety of vaccines through a series of activities such as: VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system), clinical immunization safety assessment project, vaccine safety datalink, and emergency preparedness for vaccine safety (Vaccines & Immunizations, 2010). High-quality research, broad understanding, constant monitoring, evolving knowledge and understanding, and public health surveillance approach coupled with the many major medical organizations such as CDC, IOM, AAP, AMA, and FDA to a name a few contribute to the validity of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines and immunizations. In a controversial topic, when one side has sufficient and manifested scientific facts followed and supported by world-renowned sources, and the other side simply strong opinions and beliefs, swayed views lacking data and evidence-based research, and uncreditable sources linking a cause to conditions without regard to scientific

Vaccines can protect future generations and prevent current life threatening illnesses. If you get vaccinated it can decrease the chances of your child getting a disease.Mothers who get vaccinated when pregnant also decreases chances of birth defects while mothers who were not vaccinated when pregnant had more of a chance of their baby having birth defects. Getting a vaccine early on can make your body immune to the disease and help your body even if you do happen to catch the

Vaccinations are something that is none around the world. It is supported in many countries but in others it is not. In the United States there is a constant controversy as to whether to vaccinate or not. Most parents in our society opt for the vaccination process to protect their children in any way they can. Although, many parents do not see it that way. The controversy of childhood vaccination spans back more than just a few years it goes back as far as the 18th century (Nelson) but the fact of the matter is childhood vaccinations have very few side effects, there have been very few lines between autism and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (“Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Vaccines”; Shea, Diekema), and when children come in to contact with diseases they are not vaccinated for it can cause nationwide pandemic (Nelson; “Should Any Vaccines Be Required for Children?”).

In recent years more and more parents have become misled by fallacious claims towards vaccinations which have caused for a decrease in childhood vaccinations for preventable diseases cause side effects such as autism and sudden infant death syndrome. The study that influenced many parents to not vaccinate their children was done by Andrew Wakefield, and his study claimed that vaccines such as Measles, Mumps, and

Vaccination vs. Non Vaccination has been a very controversial issue whatever side your on re-garding your opinion you must understand that in it will effect the health of you or your children . Even tho vaccinations are based on “choice" what if i told you that your child cannot attend a public school without vaccines. Even tho all 50 states require vaccinations for children entering public schools there is no real vaccination laws that exist . Vaccinations have cost the lives of people and have cost the government money so why are they so required . One example is that about 30,000 cases of adverse side effects have be reported due to vaccines since 1990 , Most were not serious but 15% was considered life threatening and left many people permanently dis-abled , ill , hospitalized , or in some cases even dead. In another case since 1989- July 2014 The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has paid over 133.2 million in legal coverage due to all the problem vaccinations have caused over the years

There are many rumors and much misinformation that surrounds vaccines, questioning their safety. These claims, however, are not credible. The most common worry is that there is a link between autism- a mental illness that inhibits social interaction- and vaccinations. This is due to research done by a british surgeon named Andrew Wakefield. Following studies, it was proven that, “there is no link between vaccines and autism.”(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, October 27, 2015) and Andrew Wakefield was discredited. There are many historical examples of vaccinations wrongly being accused of being unsafe. Inspection of vaccines before public consumption is mandated by the government. It is tested on animals, and in the 1960s, some animals

Vaccines are part of preventive health and protect us from disease. If we get vaccinated, we can help protect those who can't. One study found that a child has a 35 times more chance of getting measles, if they don't vaccinate (Lemmons 185). In the U.S., vaccines have decreased or terminated many infectious diseases that once killed or hurt many people (Vaccination). If we do not vaccinate, it will leave people unprotected and susceptible to disease.

Immunizations and vaccines have been around since the 1800s (Historic Dates). The idea of immunizing the population from deadly and unpleasant diseases is not a new idea. Yet many Americans, and people all around the world are beginning to question the effects of these vaccines, mainly on children and infants. It has been in more recent years that doctors have been recommending for children to start receiving vaccines as soon as they are born. The most common misconceptions of vaccines are that they cause autism, or that they cause the person being immunized to be a carrier of the disease. This causes a lot of new parents to rethink and hesitate to get their children vaccinated. However, the effects

Vaccines have been a hugely debated topic since their first conception in the late 18th century. Many have questioned their effectiveness and have doubted the science behind them; they have become a topic of doubt and fear. Despite this, the science behind vaccines is there, open to the public. Others say they cause more problems than they remedy. We will need to analyze all the perspectives to get a full view of the pros and cons to making vaccinations mandatory. Should vaccines be a mandatory procedure in the United States, or should the system stay as it is, that is, people being able to opt out of vaccinations on religious, philosophical, and medical grounds?

Should children be vaccinated? This is a question that has been a hot topic for some time now. All children should be vaccinated. We often ask “Why should we have our children vaccinated”? There are pros and cons to vaccinations. Vaccinations will reduce the risk of illness, provide a safer environment, and keep the parents from worry as much. In some cases, people think they cause more harm than anything.

It has been said that the ingredients in vaccines are harmful to children, but this is un-true. Aluminum, for example, targets your central nervous system which could lead to brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It could be a dangerous ingredient if used in large amounts, however, in immunizations scientists and doctors have used just the right amount of aluminum in vaccines not to be damaging to the human body. In fact, "Children are exposed to more aluminum in breast milk and infant formula than they are exposed to in vaccines." (Procon.org) Vaccines are tested for ten or more years by the FDA before they become licensed, demonstrating that these vaccines are not just tested a couple of times and then all of a sudden thrown out there because scientists think that they are going to work.

Pro: majority of funding for research and development is paid through vaccination sales and independent donations (2/3)- cuts a lot of public’s expense down/creates more opportunities for better vaccinations

Vaccination, also known as immunization, is a subject that often evokes many different opinions. It stirs up many heated debates that concern with the vaccine’s safety, efficacy, and reliability. For the past years, vaccination has greatly reduced the burden of infectious diseases. The first vaccine that was introduced to the public was more than 200 years ago to prevent smallpox. Since then, there are numbers of other vaccines that have helped people to prevent disease outbreaks. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccinations are one of the 10 great public health achievements of the twentieth century. As a Public Health major, we focus mostly in primary prevention. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs. Vaccination against infectious disease would be one of the main primary prevention that public health is primarily focusing in.
