Childhood vaccination has become an increasingly debated topic. There are two main views of childhood vaccines: those in favor of current vaccination policies and those expressing concerns with these policies. Parents often raise questions and concerns such as: "Vaccine-preventable diseases have been eliminated in my country; therefore, my child does not need the vaccines" and "Vaccines can cause harmful side effects, possibly some we don't even know about yet." Some question the safety of vaccines, as well as their effectiveness. Many studies have associated certain vaccines with diseases like autism and asthma; however, nothing has yet been confirmed. Although vaccines can have risks, there are proven benefits: they can save your child's life, protect others you care about, as well as save time and money for your family in the future. There is no way to precisely predict how an individual will react to a certain vaccine. Most side effects are minor, including a sore arm, fatigue or a low grade fever. Please visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website for a list of possible side effects from certain vaccines.
Another common misconception about vaccines is that because certain diseases are so rarely seen, what is the need to have children vaccinated. In the U.S., vaccines have significantly reduced, if not eliminated, certain diseases that used to kill or harm many infants and children. Unfortunately, the viruses and bacteria that cause these vaccine-preventable diseases still exist. This can lead to un-vaccinated persons to catching these horrible diseases. The more people who are vaccinated decreases the chance of anyone else being exposed to the vaccine-preventable diseases. The current number of hospitalizations and deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases are at an all time low. It is true that preventing a disease is better than treating a disease, however, what if certain vaccines can cause serious side effects, or worse, another disease? The most important issue is to be fully informed, knowing the risks and the benefits, about each vaccination.

How do people get their kids enrolled in school if they don't have all of their current shots?
ReplyDeleteI do think it's unfair that vaccines are mandated by law. I do understand the reasoning behind it, but do ya'll know that if a parent chooses not to vaccinate there child for ethical reasons a pediatrician will NO longer take that child as a patient in their office, BUT if a child for instance is allergic to eggs (a product in many of the vaccines) and therefore has a medical reason not to take the vaccine, that same doctor will continue to see and be a provider for that patient...interesting
ReplyDeleteIs there no test that can be done to determine if a child has genetic markers predisposing them to something in the vaccination that could possibly do them harm? I suppose if there is, it's ridiculously expensive and out of reach for the working class.
ReplyDeletevaccines should be required among young children though. i've recently learned that for every 1 million infants vaccinated for smallpox, only about 5 may have died from reactions to the vaccine. Obviously, vaccines have more of a positive effect than of a negative effect.
ReplyDeleteI have a few friends who have chosen to not vaccinate their children. All of those friends have had their kids end up with pertussis (Whooping cough)Seeing what they went through made me all the more convinced to immunize my children.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
