The Negative Effects Of Vaccination

gain immunity from deadly smallpox, the vaccination has greatly reduced the rate of infection and death by vaccine-preventable diseases. However, when receiving the vaccination became a compulsory law in the mid-1800’s in the UK, protestors shot up expressing that the laws go against their civil liberty. This was the beginning of the anti-vaccination movement, a movement which has not ceased to this day, full of people with deeply rooted beliefs that vaccinations aren’t as beneficial as the general public

it’s selfish to not immunize your child, that you put others at risk. I argue this is untrue, and that it speaks very poorly as to the effectiveness of vaccines in the first place. According to the National Institute of Health, the vaccine herd effect is when non-immunized people are protected from a disease by their proximity to vaccinated individuals. Simply, there will be less disease going around to be contracted by those that are not immune, since a large percentage of the population already

Once vaccinated, the person is protected from whooping cough for roughly 10 years and needs to receive the Tdap booster vaccine again. (Tdap- Tetanus and Diphtheria). This is a negative aspect as one vaccination doesn't provide a lifelong solution to Pertussis. MMR- Positive- One positive aspect of the MMR vaccination program is that the vaccine is effective in a large majority of people and only needs two doses for complete immunisation. Roughly 64 out of 100 people will be protected against

The government should mandate vaccinations, and although it would sacrifice the liberty and choice for public health it would keep the well-being and health of everyone much more safe and away from the risk of disease. Most people agree that vaccinations should be mandated because of how being vaccinated keeps people safer in public environments since being vaccinated helps stop diseases from being spread, as proven by science, but people who do not agree with vaccination mandation most of the time

Although some people believe that vaccinations are not the best choice for them or their children, many negative effects can be seen when people choose against vaccines. Paul A. Offit in Deadly Choices: How the Anti-vaccine Movement Threatens Us All, saying “We’ve reached a tipping point. Children are suffering and dying because some parents are more frightened by vaccines than by the disease they prevent” (191). Since the anti-vaccination movement began people have been believing that vaccines are

controversy is when it comes to compulsory vaccinations, the public health intervention will always have negative or harmful effects in combination with the benefits of compulsory vaccinations. For those that stand behind the argument that immunizations are unnecessary in our children, have argued that the vaccine industry has misrepresented the safety of vaccines. They also have argued that they have covered up information regarding certain vaccinations to gain from the financial standard. In order

therefore we must further justify a policy of mandatory vaccination. Further justification for mandatory vaccinations is logically discerned by reading John Stuart Mill’s and Arthur Okun’s views on rights. In On Liberty, Mill articulates that the only form of acceptable coercion is through the “harm principle” or “other regarding.” This translates as no one can or should want to harm their neighbor; therefore, society can willingly accept vaccination to protect others (Colgrove 2006, 4). Opponents argue

Vaccinations have proven time and time again to be an effective form of preventive medicine, but in recent research it has been associated with serious developmental problems. The controversy over whether childhood vaccines are actually the cause of these development issues has been an ongoing debate for 2 centuries and is even more prominent in society now as more research is becoming available to the public, even if some of it says there is no link between the two. Parents and guardians now also

on vaccinations to be maintain a healthy lifestyle. Although vaccinations can fight off disease they can also affect kids in negative ways. There are also parents who depend on certain vaccinations too much which can cause more problems in the long run. As the amount of kids who are not vaccinated grows, the amount of diseases that were once wiped away start to return. When kids are born they are right away taken to get vaccinations. One of the reasons that young kids need more vaccinations is because

50 women will die from this cancer annually. In 2006 Gardasil, a vaccination produced by Merck, was approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), as a vaccine for females aged 9-26, to combat HPV strains known to lead to cancer. In 2008 the Gardasil immunization was added to New Zealand’s immunization schedule and in 2009, this vaccination began to be administered in schools. Not only is New Zealand using this vaccination, but the World Health Organization, as well as public health
