The health topic I chose was immunization due to the
seriousness of
vaccine-preventable diseases that may still occur. Unfortunately, some babies
are too young to be completely vaccinated and some people may not be able to
receive vaccinations due to allergies, illness, weakened immune systems, or
other reasons. To help keep these individuals safe, it is important that our
children who are able to get vaccinated are fully immunized. This not only
protects our families, but also helps prevent the spread of these diseases to
friends and loved ones. A child with a vaccine-preventable disease can be
kept out of schools or daycare facilities. A prolonged illness can take a
financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills, or long-term
disability care.
It is reported that vaccines in the country of
Europe varies. This country is stated to still have wide spread measles (Lancet
infectious disease).Despite the proven safety and efficacy of vaccines, common
vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles are not yet controlled in all
European countries. This is largely due to three factors. First, vaccination
systems differ widely throughout Europe and they vary between highly centralized
and totally decentralized systems.
Immunizations are very important. In opinion I think all kids should be immunized if they are healthy. Researchers have argued that immunizations causes ADHD. In order for kids to go to school they need to immunized. Immunizations are covered by insurance plans and Medicaid, so there should not be an excuse to have kids immunized. This is a topic that is very important and has been a major issue.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are all aware of the importance of immunization a, what can we do globally to ensure child receive the vaccines they need? And how in the process can we be culturally sensitive
