Vaccination Process

illnesses is very serious and is not only spread through human interaction with the food, since

Make sure you teach your children correctly how to wash their hands using hot water and soap. After that, they can do it individually. Hands need always washing after using the restroom, before eating, and after going out in public. Children should also be educated not to let their hands or other objects in or close to their

Gmos, genetically modified foods, are some of the most common science experiments we’ve done. We use them to alter our food either for better or for worse. I don’t believe we should use GMOs unless we truly have to because of the costs, health issues, and all of the unknown factors with the usage. We, today, depend on them more than we have to or should. I think there could be and are better things to put in place of GMOs that have better benefits. We just have to let them go and search for the right answer.

The article “Business Models, Vaccination Services, and Public Health Relationships of Retail Clinics: A Qualitative Study” by Bayo C. Arthur, Allison Kennedy Fisher, Sarah J. Shoemaker, Alyssa Pozniak and Shannon Stokley seeks to “understand the profitability, vaccine offerings, and decision making related to the Retail Clinics’ business model” (Arthur et al., 2015, p.429). The affiliations for these authors are Bayo C. Arthur, Allison Kennedy Fisher and Shannon Stokley from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Sarah J. Shoemaker, PhD from Abt Associates, Inc., and Alyssa Pozniak, PhD from Arbor Research Collaborative for Health. The research problem addressed in this article is whether or not retail clinics will help increase patient access to vaccination services which we currently fall below from our goal defined in Healthy People 2020.

Immunizations are an important thing to get to protect your babies and children from contracting and spreading diseases. According to the California Department of Public Health, measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccinations are more than 97% effective in preventing measles (California Department of Public Health 2015). Erwin Chemerinsky is an American lawyer and law professor. Michelle Goodwin is a lawyer and has a medical background. This supports the claim by stating the effectiveness of receiving the vaccination. It has been shown to be affective when receiving the immunization. This information will support my argument using logos.

Vaccinating your child can help be a preventative measure against serious diseases that are not fully extinct yet. One example of a preventable disease is the increase in whooping cough outbreak that was reported recently. 28,000 cases of whooping cough were reported in 2014 and 2012 was a record year with more than 48,000 cases. Almost all of the deaths were babies younger than 3 months of age, who are too young to be fully protected against whooping cough through vaccines. Another disease that is fully preventable with the help of vaccination are the measles. Measles is still fairly common in many parts of the world, like Europe, Asia, and Africa. Measles is unfortunately

Many parents have been contemplating between vaccinating their loved ones because media outlets are bringing the topic to question. Some parents believe the ‘herd immunity’ can resist many illnesses when babies are not routinely vaccinated. As early as 1545 history has shown deadly cases of illness and death with the lack of vaccination exposure. The first case of small pox was identified around the early 1500’s and many people died because a cure was not discovered. The first small pox treatment was determined in 1684. Throughout history many adults and children have died of different diseases and because of such epidemics it has engineered the motivation to find cures for the future. The history of vaccines has proven that outbreak prevention

Your research article was intriguing. The subject of vaccinating children has been a growing topic of conversation The point that you made regarding as a patient advocate nurses have the role of educating our patients and families of the benefits of vaccinations. The patient may not understand the role of the vaccine and what can be prevented if vaccinated. The healthcare worker may need education regarding vaccinations as well. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Hepatitis B, and Pneumococcal vaccinations are recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease or on dialysis (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2012).

Justice John Marshall Harlan questioned the court “Is this statute . . . inconsistent with the liberty which the Constitution of the United States secures to every person against deprivation by the State?” Justice Harlan went on to confirm that while the Constitution, specifically the 14th amendment, protected the individual liberty that this liberty is not an “absolute right” that created a situation where each person was “at all times and in all circumstance wholly free from restraint”. (Mariner, Annas, & Glantz, 2005). This created case law that stated that while the citizen was generally free from the involvement of the state within their

It is well publicized that preventing diseases is one of the most effective ways of controlling the cost of health care. In pediatrics, vaccinations are arguably the poster child of preventative medicine. From the public health perspective, unvaccinated or undervaccinated children who contract vaccine-preventable diseases greatly increase health care costs. For most childhood vaccines, Healthy People 2020 has set 90% as the target for vaccination coverage. In my current clinic, the documentation required for the administration of each vaccine typically involves 1) updating the clinic’s inventory 2) documenting the vaccine administration in the patient’s medical record and 3) documenting the vaccine administration in the state immunization information system (IIS). Mistakes can and do happen in each

GMOs have a negative connotation, regardless of whether that's from fact, or false information. While they may be effectively the same or better than traditional crops the perception of them, and the science behind them is of fear from the public. Regardless of the benefits that can be gleaned from them, the arguments are pointless if people don't accept them. GMO's place in the scientific community may be settled, however, so long as it's controversial there will continue to be rejection of it due to it being

Everyone should have to be able to get vaccinated. It helps people build immunity’s to certain viruses. People who don’t get vaccines once infected can infect other people. Another huge reason is that if everyone does get vaccinated we could eventually wipe out that certain disease.

Actually, GMOs are a legitimate and safe food source that may be a key factor for solving the world crisis problem. To put the hunger crisis into perspective, it should be known that it is estimated that by the year 2050 our population will increase by 2 billion people, and that food production must increase by 70% in order to sustain the population (FAO). In fact, currently more than 21,000 children die every day of starvation, about 14 children a minute (Shah). GMOs are neither inherently good nor bad and I am not saying I support the big businesses behind these foods. It is big business and patents that are the setbacks, not GMOs. Instead, we must take a step back and divert our attention from these trivial squabbles that are used to manipulate our decisions. We need to see GMOs as a tool that can be used to solve some of the most troubling issues of our time and should be viewed as such. However, a lot has to change, first the public needs to learn the facts about GMOs and see the benefits they have for mankind. The patent laws must also change so big businesses cannot take advantage of farmers. Lastly, gene manipulation technology must be further advanced for greater benefits. A biologist, humanitarian, and a Nobel laureate, Norman E. Borglaug, once said, “I now say that the world has the technology that is either available or well advanced in the research pipeline to feed a population of 10 billion people. The more pertinent question today is: Will farmers and ranchers be permitted to use this new technology?” What he means is that we have the tools at hand to save thousands of lives, this is good news, we just have to open our minds to the idea that GMOs are in fact a solution, not a problem

Anyone who has looked at prices of organic food knows that it’s way more expensive than GMO food. For example, at Walmart GMO baby carrots are $1.68 a pound while organic is $3.48 a pound (The Cost of Organic food). This is because GMOs have less labor, risk, and more yield than organic food. The grocery stores can display GMO food for longer than organic food, so they are more profitable for the store in the long run. These reasons are why GMOs are so popular for middle class America. Most farmers choose to be GMO because chemicals and the lower risk of losing their pocket make their job easier and less risky, but organic farmers make a thirty percent higher profit than GMO farmers

Imagine a world ravaged by disease and death. It started with one person in a remote village in Africa or Asia. Slowly the disease spread throughout the village infecting hundreds. Soon the outbreak jumps to neighboring villages and eventually towns. Thousands begin to become infected and death is not far away. As the disease starts to spread from town to city to country to continent millions begin to die. The disease is tearing through the globe causing an epidemic and wiping millions out. The disease seemed something minor that did not need a vaccination when health officials first warned of it. First world countries were bullied into believing that their children were at risk for neurological damage that had no scientific data behind it because it seemed scary. Parents stopped having their children receive vaccines making them susceptible to the disease and its wrath.
