The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (2012), recommends Prevnar vaccination for subjects aged ≥65 y and for those aged 50–64 y at high risk for specific health conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, nephropathies, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Assaad, El-Masri, Porhomayon, & El-Solh, 2012). For the purpose of launching the scholarly project, I chose the 50 and over adult population ( with comorbid conditions including asthma, COPD and diabetes) because this is the identified patient population who are mostly unaware about the need for Prevnar vaccination.
Intervention
There are existing data in literature stating that vaccine reminders and education were associated with greater
Vaccine completion rates were similar to those reported by others and did not differ according to the levels of intervention delivered
The databases used for this paper included CINAHL and PUBMED. The first search on CINAHAL, using the search string “education + vaccines + children” the results were too broad and resulted in 522 full-text hits. The final search used “educational intervention + improve vaccines” resulted in 18 full-text hits and 8 full text hits respectively. Most articles were on point and up-to-date.
I believe that it is very important for a person to get vaccinated. One main reason to get vaccinated is to help prevent for getting ill. The second reason to get vaccinated is that they will keep you healthy. And the last reason to get vaccinated is when you get sick, your children, and everyone you encounter is at risk at getting it also. As you can see, getting vaccinated is very impotent.
Over many years there have been parents that are very resistant to giving their children vaccines for the most complex to simplest diseases. Getting your children vaccinated could potentially save your child’s life and wipe out the disease for good. All children should be vaccinated when they are old enough to get the medication because if they do not get vaccinated it could put their health and others’ at risk. The disease-prevention benefits of getting vaccines are much greater than the possible side effects for almost all children.
Vaccines and getting vaccinated is considered a normal thing for most people, but why? Vaccines are very important and helpful in our society. They can help prevent you from getting a disease (like measles), they can prevent the spread of a disease, they are safe and effective, and lastly, they keep you healthy. Getting vaccinated can’t always guarantee perfect results, but getting it done can help protect you and your family.
More than ever vaccines are met with a high suspicions and very little education on the realities of vaccination success.
About 5.4 million American people have Alzheimer’s, 3.5 million have autism and flu claims 36000 people annually. These statistics emphasize the importance of the treatment of such disorders. Thus, I would increase funding for projects like Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative and Universal Flu Vaccine. The BRAIN project is decoding the role of neurons in the thoughts, memories and the perception of sensory experience. More funding can result in treatment of mental disorders, like Alzheimer’s, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, and depression, affecting both young and old. Moreover, because of the continuous evolution of flu virus, annual administration of modified flu shots costs $87 billion. The Universal
Vaccinations contributes to the overall suppression of a disease. The more children that are vaccinated, the lower the reports of infection and deaths due to a disease are. The Center for Disease Control, in an article supporting immunizations, mentions a case in Japan where 80% of the children were vaccinated for pertussis, or whooping cough. That same year the number of deaths reported were zero and the infection count was below 400 children. After a while, parents stopped thinking that their children needed to be vaccinated. That following year only 10% of the children were vaccinated, which resulted in the death rate increasing by 41% and the number of infections being thirty two times larger than the previous year. When comparing and contrasting the years, whether not a child got the vaccination proves to be a huge factor in determining
Citing a study that found a correlation between the number of vaccines administered and national infant mortality rates (http://het.sagepub.com/content/early/2011/05/04/0960327111407644.full.pdf+html).
The intended purpose of this presentation is to provide facts and scientific research that persuades the audience members regarding the use of vaccinations. My intention is that the audience will support the use of vaccinations and consider the facts before making decisions that affect the entire community. My central idea is that inaccurate data exists with regards to vaccination; instead, that vaccinations should be viewed as essential for protection of society, both from extreme illness as well as life threatening, and sometimes fatal, diseases.
It has been proven through the measures of the Randomized Control Trial study and the Observational study that vaccinations serve as an effective way of preventing viruses. For example, when a RCT is performed, volunteers can be placed in two groups. One group receives the actual vaccine, and the other receives a placebo. Within this study, vaccine efficacy is also measured by comparing the frequency of the illness in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. When the Observational study is performed, it’s important to remember that it’s totally upon the individual to whether or not they prefer to be
Thesis Statement: Recently, the United States has seen a resurgence of many different diseases that we haven 't seen in decades. Much of this problem is caused by failure to get vaccinations, and a key step to solving the issue is education.
Evidence-based interventions include “increasing community demand for vaccinations, enhancing access to vaccination services, and provider- or system-based interventions” (Turnock, 2009, p. 43). Interventions to increase community demand include client
The number of individuals who are unvaccinated or infected in the United States has increased (Sun). Vaccines recommended for children are crucial and result in fewer health risks and greater healthy lifestyles. Proponents agree that vaccines are safe and effective, while opponents disagree and believe that vaccines create more negative outcomes than positive ("Should Any Vaccines..."). Opponents attempt to influence and persuade the majority of individuals to stray away from their viewpoints relating to the encouragement of vaccinating children. The rising percentage of children and parents who reject immunization and protest safe vaccines indicate less triumph for sufficient immunization for the population. There are many detrimental risks that affect unvaccinated children, and supporting childhood vaccinations profoundly benefits each parent and child.
Specific Purpose: To tell second student the effects of parent choose not to vaccinate their children.
