Technology And Its Impact On The Development Of A Polio Vaccine

vaccinations The debate over vaccinations has been a prevalent one throughout the course of medical history. A vaccination is “the injection of a killed or weakened organism that produces immunity in the body against that organism” (vaccines.gov). Vaccines are designed to provide immunization to certain illnesses. People of all ages are encouraged to get vaccinations not only to protect themselves but also for the safety of the public. Most children in the United States are given vaccinations as soon

Vaccines are used to train the immune system to fight of the natural forms of diseases or toxins. Today, there are seven different types of commonly used vaccines. These vaccines are live, inactivated, subunit, toxoid, conjugate, DNA, or recombinant vector vaccines. Each type of vaccine is used for different diseases and different purposes. They each have specific makeups and properties that make them different from one another. Live vaccines contain a version of the living microbe that has been

to treat and cure Polio through a joint effort between USA and Canada. Canada developed a more effective oral vaccine after The United States drug trial caused severe backlashes. A graph published by Dr. Christopher J. Rutty visually depicts polio incidents till 1962 portrays the rates after each vaccine, like the Salk and Sabin vaccine made by United States and Canada respectively (Rutty). The graph shows a major decrease in Polio incidents after Canada created the Sabin vaccine in order to counteract

to take a different approach to medicine. This era produced new inventions, new sanitation concerns, and new vaccines. It also stressed the importance of maintaining personal health, and the importance of receiving all vaccines. These medical advancements include the invention

Is the anti-vaccination sentiment leading to a re-emergence of vaccine preventable diseases? Vaccinations against life threatening conditions is known to be as one of the greatest achievements in the medical world. Vaccines are a highly effective method of preventing infectious diseases among children and for travellers who are always at risk of contracting infectious diseases in the other countries they visit. Vaccinations which are common among children all over the world, are comparative to a

The world is the community of human, and globally impacting on every continent. In the 21st centuries, the world is bringing better lifestyle to planet earth, on the other hand it is harming all of us. Advanced medical sciences, improved technology, educational society, and being more accepting of LGBT, which stand for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender are the steps of the world changing for the better. Although the world has changed, discrimination is still prevailing in our society, furthermore

infants, with 5.82 million surviving infants [1]. Routine Immunization and Polio Eradication: In 2013 the UN Inter-agency Group for child mortality estimation, showed that about 50% of under-five deaths occur in only five countries: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo and China [2]. It estimated that Pakistan has a child mortality of 86 per 1000 live birth. About 25% of these deaths are attributed to vaccine preventable diseases. In recent years the Pakistani routine immunization

began the development of vaccines. Scientists recognised by surviving an infection with a less virulent form of the disease

Protecting the Herd: Global Access to Vaccinations ‘Herd immunity’ or ‘community immunity’ is a societal idea to protect those who are vulnerable to diseases (“Herd Immunity”). When access to vaccinations are limited, the ‘herd’ is more at risk to infection diseases. Since vaccinations were first used, in 1796, they have been a massive part of our history to prevent the spread of disease, been limited to wealthy countries, and those who are against them. Even today, access to vaccinations

Vaccines have successfully eradicated smallpox and greatly reduced the occurrence and risk of other infectious diseases such as polio, measles and many more. This leads people to question, why there is such a large controversy over the usage of vaccines in the 21st century? The ongoing battle between humans and infectious disease has been going on since the beginning of history and it wasn't until the discovery of vaccines, that millions of lives each year are saved worldwide. These vaccines are
