I agree great response Sarah! Very informative post. Kayley I agree with you that it's kind of dumb that parents are opting out of vaccinating their children. Vaccinations have been around for a while now and they have helped more than they have harmed. I think some parents are jumping on the fad of not vaccinating their children because in the last few years it has been in the media and there are a few celebrities who are against vaccinating and I feel like they do have some influence on people. I also don't believe vaccinations are linked to problems and people are just looking for a reason why problems happen to their children and feel like they need an explanation and why not blame it on vaccinations.
I believe that it is very important for a person to get vaccinated. One main reason to get vaccinated is to help prevent for getting ill. The second reason to get vaccinated is that they will keep you healthy. And the last reason to get vaccinated is when you get sick, your children, and everyone you encounter is at risk at getting it also. As you can see, getting vaccinated is very impotent.
Not being vaccinated does not only mean that you have a probable chance of becoming infected by diseases but it also means you are increasing the chances of the population around you to be infected by a disease. According to World Health Organization, infectious diseases kill over 17 million people annually. Many of the diseases that we now inoculate people against such as measles, are highly contagious. If an individual is not vaccinated, the chance of them being infected by a contagious disease is likely. Also, if an individual were to be infected by a contagious disease, there are more chances that the people who are not vaccinated around that individual are also at risk to be infected. Vaccines are considered effectual because they confer
Over many years there have been parents that are very resistant to giving their children vaccines for the most complex to simplest diseases. Getting your children vaccinated could potentially save your child’s life and wipe out the disease for good. All children should be vaccinated when they are old enough to get the medication because if they do not get vaccinated it could put their health and others’ at risk. The disease-prevention benefits of getting vaccines are much greater than the possible side effects for almost all children.
According to the World Health Organization, one in ten infants worldwide did not receive any vaccinations in 2016 (Fadela). Additionally, many children receive their first round of vaccinations, but they do not continue with the additional rounds. Without vaccinations, children are at risk for potentially fatal illnesses. A child is exposed to viruses every single day, whether the child goes into a public setting or an infected person visits his or her home. Vaccinations are important for the protection of a child’s undeveloped immune system and preventing a child from diseases.. While parents may have multiple reasons for deciding against vaccinating their children, these children face serious medical
Any caring parent would want to protect their child from any harm. Vaccinations are and easy way to protect them from disease and other viruses. They will protect a child from polio, Hepatitis, and cancer. When provided with a safe and beneficial way to preserve our health, why wouldn’t we take advantage of that? People in the United States are taking advantage of the vaccination exemption status which increases out chances of an outbreak. We need to keep America safe, by vaccinating the future generation.
Vaccines and getting vaccinated is considered a normal thing for most people, but why? Vaccines are very important and helpful in our society. They can help prevent you from getting a disease (like measles), they can prevent the spread of a disease, they are safe and effective, and lastly, they keep you healthy. Getting vaccinated can’t always guarantee perfect results, but getting it done can help protect you and your family.
Over the past year, vaccinations have sparked controversy all over America. Some parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children. I believe that all members of the community should be properly vaccinated to avoid the spread of disease, to prevent introducing eradicated diseases to other countries, and to prevent premature death.
There are fourteen diseases my children will not be catching. Why is that? Because I’m one of those mothers who allow doctors to poke my children forty-nine times during the first six years to prevent them from catching and spreading deadly diseases. Can you believe there are actually parents out there who think it’s better to risk their children’s health than having them vaccinated?
I, like citizen three, am undecided on government imposed vaccination. I don't personally agree with citizen I, point of view; but I do agree that people who do not get vaccinated are putting other people in danger. The same goes with citizen II, as a person who strongly believes in freedom of will, I can see why she opposes this issue. But at what price? At the price of others health? I think with an issue like this, it would be extremely selfish to oppose the vaccination.
The most commonly cited reason why parents decide to not vaccinate their children is due to their belief that vaccines cause harm11. In a survey that looked at risk perception with vaccines, researches found that while 94% of individuals surveyed had vaccinated or plan on vaccinating their children, only 23% of participants had no concerns about the vaccines16. This reiterates the point that even though there are high rates of vaccination in the United States,
Parents think giving there kids shots will make them cry and scream in pain and remember for the rest of their lives. They also think that the kids will have to many shots affecting them emotionally . First off , babies don't even remember months 12-35 . What the parents aren't seeing is the outcome of what happens with kids if they're not vaccinated
Have you ever been vaccinated in your entire life or do you know what vaccine is? A vaccine is an organic process that keeps people from developing diseases. Some people say that, since they received vaccinations since as children, their health has improved. However, other people say that vaccination causes different diseases like cancer and autism. They are afraid to be vaccinated. Some parents say that when the nurses who are in training vaccinate children, they put the vaccination needle in the wrong place and injuries occur. Well, their concern is justified because children are there, but that also does not mean that nurses who are in training do not know what they are doing. Research shows that children who are vaccinated are healthy and it is keeping from diseases. Many parents believe in research and vaccinating their children, but many parents do not believe in research and keep children without vaccines. There are many reasons why all children should be vaccinated, but there are a few, which are the most important ones. The most important ones are the following; vaccines prevent children from having different diseases, vaccines are safe and effective and child vaccinations help the elderly.
Before the first day of kindergarten most children are required to be up-to-date on vaccinations; this prevents the spread of communicable, life threatening diseases. From generation to generation, depending on how one is brought up, there is no question on whether or not to vaccinate. Many people have grandparents who remember the days of the polio and smallpox outbreaks and all the lives lost or changed during that era. One might think to themselves, “If there is a way to prevent a debilitating disease with a couple of shots, why isn’t everyone required to get vaccinated?” Some are just a little more skeptical: whether they’re cautious parents, conspiracy theorists, or they themselves have suffered from a side effect of a vaccine, they have a right to say no and in America that right is respected, in most states. That’s the beautiful part about a first world country, access to things such as vaccines.
“In a 2006 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that between 1991 and 2004, the percentage of children whose parents had chosen to opt out of vaccines increased by 6 percent a year” (Offit). Choosing not to vaccinate your children due to personal beliefs and religious reasons puts others at risk who cannot be vaccinated, herd immunity is not preserved, and you can spread other diseases that would not spread if you got a vaccination. However, with education, incentives for getting vaccinated and peer pressure from other parents, parents would start vaccinating their
It used to be that vaccinations were considered a normal part of childhood, right along with loosing teeth and toilet training. However, in recent years vaccinations have become an extremely hot button issue, with many parents actually choosing not to vaccinate their children. The idea seems preposterous considering how many people were left with twisted backs, and withered limbs due to polio, or the amount of deaths as a result of measles. To see someone who has been left in an iron lung from a disease that is now preventable, and still choose not to prevent the disease seems absolutely asinine, and yet many parents are doing just that. Sadly, much of the fear of vaccines stems from Dr. Andrew Wakefield, and his fraudulent research that
