Mass Vaccination Case Study

The use of vaccinations have helped to eradicate small pox, measles and polio. Although recently vaccinations have become controversy once again it is important to keep updated on vaccinations, because one person could lead to a new outbreak of old diseases that have been irrelevant for hundreds of years. Vaccines are a great preventative measure to ensure that epidemics of the past don’t come back and haunt us in the future. If everyone remains vaccinated old diseases and new ones have less of a chance of becoming a wide spread epidemic which would cause chaos in the

First Responders, Food Handlers, Medical Providers. It is recommended that all first responders, food handlers, and medical providers get vaccinated, and IgM treatment post exposure event, if applicable (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, 2017). Like other agencies, forming partnerships with these providers allows them to educate those in their realm, for example, restaurant employees, doctors and nurses, and as in San Diego, paramedics have been trained to give vaccinations to those they treat on the street, as well as being a support at vaccination events (EMS1, 2017). Information can be shared back and forth, thus building community-based data, useful for future outbreaks, also to be shared with others.

Yes, during the vaccine crisis in 2003-2004, CDC acted promptly and recommended all healthcare facilities to immunize the high-risk group patients first. After that, CDC advised the entire public health department to work with their providers to develop a pandemic influenza plans. The key elements included in the plans are influenza surveillance, vaccination, antiviral drug use, communications, healthcare system response and it also addressed who should be in the priority group for receiving the vaccine.

Many of these diseases are seen as eradicated, and unable to make a comeback. However, due to vaccinations these diseases are currently contained and not allowed to spread amongst the general community. This case study delves into the symptoms, diagnosis, cure, and prevention that will bring light of the importance of this community action plan. Colorado Springs has been chosen as the case study location, and between the media, scientific studies, and community partners, it is shown how important and effective immunizations and vaccinations are to community health.

I am writing to inform you of my recommendations for the vaccine policy. New York State should require mandatory vaccinations by the state public health department for entry into public schools, with exemptions.

also be spread through anal and oral sexual encounters. Because HPV is spread sexually, teaching abstinence may come to mind but it has been found that even people with only one partner have high rates of obtaining HPV. Another reason this would not be a solution is that most of the time parents do not know that sexual encounters are happening, so even though they may think their child is not sexual it is best to protect them from something that can hurt them years before.

The Global Vaccine Safety Initiative (GVSI) is a current health initiative that increases and optimizes the overall safety of vaccinations (World Health Organization [WHO], 2016). The development of this health initiative works hand in hand with the American Nurses Association (ANA) ethical principle in implementing beneficence and non-maleficence. This initiative has the full intention to do good and do no harm by advocating for the community by taking active steps to ensure the well-being of the community.

Perform vaccination campaigns in areas of difficult access in order to guarantee to children under one year the vaccination scheme full

The outbreak of disease can cost public health departments thousands of dollars per day. Vaccinations have a considerable influence on the reduction of healthcare costs including, the reduction of prescriptions, infections, and long-term care costs. Eradication and prevention of disease, coupled with saving in healthcare costs, offers additional resources for research and finding potential cures for other incurable diseases. As with any medical procedure, risk is involved. While the adverse effects of vaccination are plausible, they are considered minimal. Protecting the population is key in ensuring a healthy future. Bridging the gap with fact and fiction is imperative when weighing the benefit and risk of vaccination.

Our plan of action that we will take forward to help in resolving this issue consists of multiple steps. First of all, we plan on creating an informative website that will help raise awareness and educate the public about the importance of getting immunized and the risks and consequences of not getting vaccinated. Next we plan on trying some kind of partnership with UNICEF to fundraise money that will go towards providing vaccines for population mainly of children and women who don’t have access to vaccinations and disease prevention possibilities. Next we plan to possibly make awareness advertisements about the importance of immunization to raise attention to the issue and allow individuals to start taking action to become active global citizens.

The main reason to send health care professionals is to help heal those who are suffering from these diseases. As of recently, the Ebola Epidemic has spread across the world, mainly

When children who have been vaccinated do contract a disease, despite being vaccinated against it, they usually have milder symptoms with less serious complications than an un-vaccinated child that gets the same disease. It is true that some children who receive vaccinations may still become ill when exposed to other disease-ridden children. Research shows that 70-90% of the entire population must be vaccinated to attain “herd immunity”, “the resistance of a group to attack by a disease to which a large proportion of the members are immune.” (Farlex, 2012) When herd immunity is accomplished the spread of the disease can be averted throughout. If all parents were to take proper responsibilities and keep their children’s immunizations up-to-date, herd immunity would be achieved against all 16 of the major life threatening diseases.

Global authorities should not just focus their efforts on only one certain country, in fact it would be smart to branch out and help another country when in need. For instance, it would may be completely justified for the CDC to go into a third-world country and provide them with the resources they need in order to save lives and even stop the transmission of the infection. The collection of biological specimens is completely ethically vindicated under certain regulations. FirstlyHowever, the collection of the specimens should be strictly regulated by government agencies. Strict regulation would prevent the possibility of bioterrorism. Secondly, governments should only provide the specimens to qualified researchers with their only purpose to study the effects of the disease, thus learning how to prevent future outbreaks. The obligation of front line healthcare workers can be a touchy subject. Generally speaking, healthcare workers know that they are risking a lot by treating sick individuals, it is their job. If healthcare workers practice safe methods to help stop the transmission between the sick to and the workers, then they can focus on trying to save afflicte’s patient’s lifeves. All things considered, when dealing with the dilemma of what should be our responsibility and in respondingse to emerging disease

During childhood we are given vaccinations and as we get older we are given more. These vaccinations are to help our bodies protect us against various strains of diseases and viruses. Now in the twentieth century there are multiple crippling diseases that are almost if not already extinct. All of this is due to vaccinations and public health recommendations. To have the health system we have today we first had to create and develop public health, bring this entity into our decade and then continue to manage the framework to benefit the requirements of today’s health topics.

Now, many once-forgotten diseases are reappearing. TIME Magazine reported that “In 2014, the U.S. experienced a major outbreak of measles that totaled 383 cases and was primarily spreading among an unvaccinated Amish community in Ohio.” (Measles Outbreak) The number of cases of these diseases is going up when it can be easily prevented. Worldwide, “Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available.” (World Health
