Immunization is an extremely important public health
issue. Thanks to the Public health official and school systems requiring
certain vaccinations we know have children who do not have worry about getting certain
deadly illness. “Within the past 50 years, immunization eliminated smallpox,
and dramatically reduced chickenpox, flu, measles, mumps, pneumonia, polio, rotavirus,
tetanus, and whooping cough.” (Berger, 2015) This means a great deal to me
because I know that the children in my class as well as those in my personal
have a better chance of survival in the future without having to worry about
the person next to them in class.
I find that
different countries have different requirement for their immunization then the
United States. I can understand that certain illness may have more contributing
factors then they do it the United States. The Health News stated, “Zimbabwe,
where except for tetanus, vaccination
rates are at 89 to 99 percent, meaning the country is
almost fully vaccinated.” However, I also learned that their infant mortality
rate has tripled in the time frame of 1990 to 2010.
I believe that my reading and research has lead me
to not get more involved but to also help education my parents on the
importance of vaccinating their child. I will also help educate the parents by
offering health care specializes to come into the classroom and talk to the
children while I am inviting their parents as well as.

Hey Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog mainly because I feel the same way about Immunization it is very important mothers and parents give their children vaccine. I know in some countries mothers aren't educated enough to know if it will harm their child or help them. Good post

ReplyDeleteGreat post! It is always so critical to emphasize the importance of vaccinations...in the rural areas that I work in we still see families that are against immunizations or do not find them to be of importance!
Hello Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your statement about children having a better chance of survival in the near future. It is also good for educators as well, just knowing that children have received their up to date immunization shots, gives us a better bill of health during the school year.
