Every state has its own requirements of what the required immunization are, some states even allow a waiver so that children don’t have to be vaccinated. It is very important for children to be vaccinated. As a child, their bodies are not strong enough to fight off many diseases. In the past, children have died or became very ill due to certain disease before vaccinations were available. Children who are immunized are less likely to catch any of the diseases that may be going around in the community.
Shayla Mercer WGU Texas Online EFT Task: 602.4.17-10 I chose to discuss childhood inoculations. Would I inoculate my child as per the Center for Disease Control’s recommendations? The answer is yes I would. There are two different viewpoints on this particular topic. There are parents who view that it is unnecessary and not safe for your child to be vaccinated and there are the parents who believe you should get your children vaccinated to make sure they stay healthy and won’t get a deadly disease.
In addition to childhood vaccines, there's also debate about adult vaccines, particularly for the seasonal flu. According to some parents children’s immune systems can deal with most infections naturally and that vaccines cause immune system suppression, and can permanently damage the natural immune system. But the risks of not being vaccinated far outweigh the small risks
Some ideas and theories in science meet with resistance. One of the examples when an idea is meeting with the resistance is immunization. More often children immunization meets with public resistance. As the vaccination of children is parents' decision many decides not to do it. Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s.
Spread of Infectious Diseases Among Children During the 1950s and Resolutions to These Outbreaks “Children inherit a variable amount of immunity from the mother; it does not last long, but usually is adequate to tide them over for the first year of life” (Van Dellen 20). However, in the 1950s, children began to acquire less protection compared to children from the past. Since the mothers were not acquiring these threatening diseases, they were transmitting fewer antibodies to protect their babies of these diseases. Consequently, the number of infectious diseases occurring in early childhood became a major concern. Some contagious diseases infecting the children during this time period included poliomyelitis, Staphylococcus, diphtheria,
Immunizations weaken the immune system and makes it work less efficiently.. Immunizations have harmful chemicals in them that are dangerous to the body. Children can still contract a disease regardless of getting immunized against it. A person has no guarantee that they will not contact the disease if they have been vaccinated. A person/child is less likely to contract a disease if they naturally develop an immunity for example breastfeeding or coming in contact at a young age. More than 12,000 bad reactions to vaccines are reported each year, if all doctors reported these reactions the total would be closer to 120,000 per year.
They are safe as well as effective, they are only given to children after being reviewed and approved. They can involve some comfort and pain, but this is what I would rather me and my children go through, rather than being sick with a disease that can be fatal. A person may have an allergic reaction to a vaccination, but this is a very rare side effect. Before child/children receive a vaccine their parents receive brochures that explain the side effects that are possible and explain the benefits to having that vaccine. Doctors just are sticking people with shots because they think it’s the right thing for the children.
People in families with high percentages of Huntington don’t have a promising future even the children are at risk. The most positive point is that this disease can be screened for so people can have early relief to whether they have the disease or not. A mother has the option to having the test on a newborn but if the diagnostic is performed the mother will be faced with the choice with having an abortion or keeping
Transition: Yes, children today receive more vaccines than we did as kids. There are more immune deficient diseases now and people travel to places that do not receive vaccines; so more are needed to keep all people safe. II. Review main points: Vaccines are a public health miracle that we cannot afford to put at risk. III.
There are near-record low levels of vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States, but sadly that does not mean these diseases have disappeared. Many of the viruses and bacteria that cause illness still circulate in this country or are only a plane ride away. It’s very important that children, especially infants and young children, receive recommended immunizations on time. Vaccines also protect teenagers and adults to keep them healthy for their entire lives. I have always had very strong opinions regarding vaccinations; especially now as a parent and a student in the medical assistant program.
