The Importance Of Vaccines

To Vaccinate or not to vaccinate, has been a question many parents in America have been asking themselves for years. Some parents believe that it is their right to decide if their children will be vaccinated; while some states believe that all children should be vaccinated. There are logical and illogical reasons for this argument. There should be a federal law that requires parents to vaccinate their children because it will lower the number of deaths, benefit those children who have lower immune systems, and it can get rid of some diseases all together in the future.

Almost everyone has heard of the benefits and dangers of childhood vaccines. Parents are especially eager to do what is best for their child to protect him or her. Some people have different opinions on what the best specifically entails when it comes to childhood vaccines. Vaccinations are a controversial discussion as parents question whether it should be mandatory or optional when they feel the cons outweigh the pros. The government says it is the right thing to do for parents and their families to remain safe from illnesses and diseases. However, there have been opinions of opposition voiced by parents and health

As a little kid I always feared going to the doctors. I dreaded the long, scary needles and being poked by them. Every time my mom told me I had to go to the doctors, I would immediately ask her if I had to get any shots. If she said yes, I would start crying, begging her not to take me and saying why are you doing this to me. Her response was always the same, saying I had to do this to stay healthy and it would only hurt for a little bit. At the time I never really understood what she meant, because I had been sick tons of times, so what good are these shots really doing for me. I thought if I missed some of the vaccines I would be fine and nothing bad would happen to me, but what would have really happened if my mom let me skip these vaccination

Every parent must decide whether or not they will vaccinate their child. The medical community advocates for vaccinating children, which will contribute to herd immunity, and help in the eradication of preventable diseases. However there are arguments to be made against vaccinating as well. People are finding that vaccines are not providing long term protection, and are less effective than developing immunity through a natural defense process. Vaccines provide unnecessary exposure to toxins which may be linked to developmental delays. Also some of the side effects and complications associated with various vaccines are proving to be more detrimental than the disease processes they are designed to fight against. Many parents are weighing the

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)

Overall the interviews gave me the knowledge that I needed to prove my point that parents are not fully informed and educated about vaccinations. Parents are also just doing what they think is the best without speaking to a physician. Without correct information parents are choosing not to vaccinate which is the number one reason we are seeing outbreaks of disease that no longer should be present. In all my main focus was to figure out if vaccinations were worth the risk that is associated with immunization.

Vaccinations are among the most useful and fruitful means for securing the group's wellbeing and in addition making a safeguard look after general society including medicinal services experts. As future drug specialists, taking in the significance and conveyance of immunizations will enable us to ensure the overall population, geriatrics and particularly kids from genuine diseases and complexities. This inoculation course will enable us to advise our patients about the significance of immunizations and why it is required for specific age bunches with the end goal for them to have solid existences.

Vaccination is a practice that has facilitated elimination of health conditions such as smallpox and polio in most countries, especially in the United States of America. Also, a lot of lives, regardless of age bracket have been saved out of immunization through boosting people's immunity system that fights against disease-causing organisms attacking their bodies. As a result, incidence and prevalence of preventable disease via vaccination have been going down ever since the innovation of vaccine medicine. According to the Utilitarian theory, it would be more optimific for everyone to be vaccinated and prevent potential dangers of diseases to future generations (Shafer-Landau, 2018). Therefore, immunizing people have become a utility, that is, an action that has led to positive impacts of improving peoples' health leading to happiness in most parts of the world. This is an activity that should be championed across the globe to help in eradicating conditions such as measles and rubella that threatens the lives and health of newborns and other people as well. To achieve such outcome, immunization should be made mandatory for everyone apart from those who have a medical rationale.

Humanity is better than it was just 2 centuries ago thanks to vaccines. Currently there is a debate between people for vaccination and people who are not, called “Anti-Vaxxers”. Some feel the need to oppose vaccines because they think the ingredients are too risky, and its their choice regardless. Others feel that vaccines are beneficial because the positive effects it has on safety of our society. Vaccines should be required for everyone because the benefits outweigh the risks.

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

Vaccines have become an important health intervention throughout the years. A vaccine is a product that produces immunity from a disease and can be given by the nose or the mouth.

“The two public health interventions that have had the greatest impact on the world’s health are clean water and vaccines”, says the World Health Organisation. However, not everyone agrees that the increasing number of available vaccines are necessary, or even safe. So, when faced with the individual and their right to make their own decision about being vaccinated; and the ramifications that their decision may have on society as a whole; is it advisable to make the vaccination programme compulsory? Firstly, one must understand the technique involved in vaccination, and how it can be utilised most effectively. Then, the moral and ethical implications of the practice can be considered.

Throughout history, humans have suffered and died from various diseases. From 1346 to 1353, up to 200 million Europeans died from the bubonic plague (Staff 4). The death caused by this Black Death, is nearly equivalent to today’s population of Brazil at 209,288,278 people (“Countries in the world by population” 1). However, since this atrocious pandemic in the Middle Ages, there has never been such a detrimental outbreak due to an extreme improvement of quality of life. Those who are still in close contact with the pathogens for the disease, such as researchers and Peace Corps volunteers are now protected by the plague vaccine as advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“Plague Vaccine” 3). Nevertheless, this vaccine, developed in 1890, is just one of many vaccines that have improved human life. Vaccinations are beneficial because they have saved lives, improved the quality of life, and will prevent future outbreaks of such diseases.

For many years it has been believed that vaccinations are safe. Why are they safe? What do people know about vaccinations that are fact? Do vaccinations build or tear down the immune system? Are the shots supposed to be combined? The diseases that the shot protects you from, are they considered fatal? What is your education on vaccinations? What is your doctor's education on vaccinations? Do you know the ingredients that are in a single vaccination? In 1980 the government was only required to give children 9 vaccinations by the age of six and never more than two shots per visit. As of 2012, children will receive on schedule a minimum of 42 shots by the age of six and many of the shots are combined. I am writing this paper to share that there is not enough information on why vaccinations are needed for your child.

Vaccination is a treatment that relies solely on a vaccine designed to produce immunity against a disease, otherwise known as inoculation. There are various forms of vaccines from live attenuated vaccines, inactivated vaccines, subunit vaccines, toxoid vaccines, conjugate vaccines, DNA vaccines, and recombinant vector vaccines. The different methods used in developing the vaccines are carefully thought out by scientists considering the fundamental background of the microbe and the environment in which it will be administered.
