Summary: The Importance Of Vaccination

Can you imagine life without vaccine? In the reading "Not Being Vaccinated is not Acceptable" by David Ropeik argues that we should all get vaccinated because it’s necessary. Vaccinations are designed to help us go through our daily everyday life. A vaccine is a modern type of medicine that has been added to the world early on in life to prevent us all from diseases. It is called a modern medicine because of how many lives it has saved throughout the world. The earliest documented examples of vaccination are in the 17th century from India and China, people infected with smallpox were used to protect against the diseases. Vaccine have become better, to where they are safer for the human body. Vaccinations protect you and everyone around you, saves public money, protects future generations and it’s reliable.

This paper explores the issues surrounding the mandatory vaccination of healthcare workers with the Influenza vaccine. The Center for Disease control advises all health care workers to get vaccinated annually against influenza (Center for Disease Control, 2017). Mandatory vaccination policies have always been debated, and in this policy there is not much difference. The continued efforts by many healthcare officials to implement policies to avoid the effects caused by unvaccinated staff have promulgated controversial debates among many health managers regarding the ethical and moral implications of such programs. Some agree to enforcing mandatory rules, while other are totally against it. Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle was the first

We as parents will do anything to protect our children. I believe that getting our children vaccinated is one of the most important ways we can protect them. According to the center for disease control and prevention, vaccinations help protect against 16 potentially harmful diseases. While these diseases are not very common in the united states, they can occur, leaving children who are not vaccinated vulnerable.

Are vaccinations important and worth the risks? This is an age-old question that many people have asked since the creation of immunizations. Early last century, diseases like whooping cough, measles, and polio affected hundreds of thousands of people, killing thousands every year. According to the CDC, “More than 15,000 Americans died from diphtheria in 1921.” A vaccine was formulated for this disease, and since then there has only been one reported case in 2004. The vaccine for rubella has achieved the same results. The CDC stated that, “An epidemic of rubella (German measles) in 1964-65 infected 12½ million Americans, killed 2,000

Relocating can be a challenging process, but proper planning and the services of professional moving companies can help. You may already understand the struggles of cleaning, organizing, and packing your belongings, but you may not realize that you could leave important belongings and documents behind. If you starting the moving process, make sure to use these tips to avoid leaving necessitates behind.

It is important that health care providers step in more aggressively to inform parents on the importance of getting their children vaccinated, and to follow the recommended schedule of getting them done. Positive results of getting your child vaccinated would be that the health care costs of treating these diseases would decrease, healthier children can lead to healthier seniors. In research done by Cohen, Ahmed, Klaassen, Agree, Louis, and Naumova, they studied to see the rates of children vaccinated against influenza(flu) and the rates at which seniors were getting the flu. There showed to be a positive connection with the higher rates of children vaccinated against the flu and low rates at which seniors were getting sick with the flu. Health care providers also need to focus on the parents that are refusing to vaccinate because they are

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.

In contrast, a positive aspect of many people having vaccinations is herd immunity. Herd immunity is the occurrence where a large proportion of a specific population is vaccinated to provide them immunity, and as a result, it also gives some protection to the people of the population who have and yet developed immunity. This happens as the a large group of vaccinated individuals are protected from a virus and creates difficulty for the it to spread because there is only a small percentage of the population left that could be infected by the disease. It is a very crucial aspect of immunity for the community as the people who cannot receive vaccinations (i.e. people with weak immune systems, very young children and patients who are too ill)

Vaccinations have been around for many centuries and will continue to be around. Immunizations have improved so much over the years, and will continue to improve. Medicine changes everyday like shots, treatments, and so much more. Vaccinations have helped play a big role in our country. Vaccinations help protect everyone that is immunized, and helps protect the community. They do have side effects, but side effects are very rare. Most people would rather have redness, tenderness, or an allergic reaction to a vaccination than to be hospitalized, long-term disability, or even death. Diseases are more painful and have more effects on the body than a vaccination. Diseases can cause someone to become very sick, and can spread to more than one person.

What is a vaccination? Why are they so important ? A vaccination is a live virus administered into the body to build immunity against deadly diseases. When a child is little and is exposed to a disease their bodies are not strong enough to fight it off and can make them very sick. Before vaccination came into play children would get diseases such as pertussis(whooping cough),polio,diphtheria, and tetanus, all of these being extremely deadly.Why would someone want to give a young child these deadly viruses? Studies have shown that no medicine is perfect but most childhood vaccines produce immunity about 90 - 100% of the time.(vaccines) Before vaccinations were invented people were only living 50-60 years, they now are living 20-25 years longer. How does this protect those who physically can not have vaccinations? Vaccinations protect those who can not be vaccinated, whether is be from a disease they are already fighting, chemo / radiation, and being allergic. All of those being reasons to hope others get their vaccinations. Vaccinations not only protect children from harmful diseases, but also those who can not be vaccinated.

Vaccines have been considered one of the greatest medical achievements, and are instrumental in health promotion. Vaccines play a major role in lowering the risk of exposure to diseases. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends 29 doses of 9 vaccines plus an annual flu vaccine for children ages 0 to six (CDC, 2017). There are twelve diseases that have been considered potentially dangerous that children are routinely vaccinated against. They include: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Hepatitis A and B, Pneumococcal disease, Varicella (Chicken Pox), and Haemophilus Influenza Type B (HIB disease). There is much debate about the safety of vaccinations. Those who oppose vaccinations believe that a child can

The overwhelming effectiveness of vaccinations has caused many individuals to focus more on the negative side of vaccines, ignoring the positive aspects, despite massive amounts of evidence supporting the safety of vaccines and their benefits. Vaccines represent one of the most important aspects of pediatric preventive care. However, several parents have increasingly questioned the safety of vaccines, as a result vaccination rates have fallen to dramatically lower levels in recent years (McClure, 2017). These objections may lead to unacceptably high numbers of exemptions, which can compromise the greater population leaving communities susceptible to outbreaks in vaccine-preventable diseases (Balding, 2006). In many communities, vaccination rates, particularly for children, have dropped below thresholds necessary to maintain herd immunity (Ropeik, 2013). What does society do when people take risks that put the lives of others in danger? Make laws and regulations that protect the common good for us all.

“The American Academy of Pediatrics states that "most childhood vaccines are 90%-99% effective in preventing disease." (vaccines.pro.org) Now a days parents vaccinating their children is a very big controversy. Many parents don't believe that they should trust the government and what they put into our children. This is a result of the side effects the shots have had on some children, including defects. While others believe that these vaccines have worked for years, therefore we should trust them. Therefore that prevents the spread of those diseases that we have basically diminished.

Vaccines have been used to prevent diseases for centuries, and have saved countless lives of children and adults. Vaccines protect children by preparing the body to fight off potentially fatal diseases. Immunizing children helps protect not only the individual, but also the health of the surrounding community, including those who may not have access to receiving vaccinations. Will a decrease in vaccinations in the US affect society’s health?
