HPV Vaccines

Decent Essays
I think the reason why parents do not want their children to get HPV vaccine is that the vaccine prevents sexually transmitted disease instead of other normal diseases. Parents do not want their children to have unsafe sexual activity, so they think the vaccine is unnecessary for them. Parents will always have the idea that their children are still too young to have sex. In addition, parents worry that if their children know what the vaccine does, they will feel safe so that they will have more sexual activities than before. Vaccination for measles, on the other hand, is not sex related; therefore, there is no taboo to enforce that vaccination.

In my opinion, I believe that parents should let their children receive the HPV vaccine. The vaccine

    By looking through the two newspaper articles, I found out that Connie Roux has against the HPV vaccine because in the article, she states that there are 89 deaths, 20,575 adverse reactions, and 352 reports of abnormal pap smears of post vaccine. She also claimed that this vaccine has devastated the lives of young girls. To support her claim, she wants us to check out the NVIC website. On the other side, Mary Severinghaus seem to prove that Roux was wrong. She states that NVIC website is only for the anti-vaccination organization.…

    Vaccination rates for HPV are relatively low. Receiving the recommendation from a doctor to get vaccinated, strongly correlates to receiving the vaccine (Ylitalo, Lee, Mehta, 2013). The vaccination rate among informed patients is relatively the same for all races and ethnicities in the Unites States. This indicates that race and ethnicity does not impact the willingness to receive the vaccination in this study. However, non-Hispanic whites were 10% more likely to receive the recommendation.…

    In 2012, there were two FDA-approved vaccines released to target the four most common HPV strains. Almost 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and 90 percent of genital warts cases are associated with these four strains of HPV. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends vaccinating young girls and boys between 11 and 12 years of age, before becoming sexually active. Additionally, ACIP recommends vaccination of HPV4 for males aged 13 through 26 years who have not been previously vaccinated or have not accomplished the three-dose series. There is currently a debate within states to mandate school HPV vaccination, which is determined by each individual state.…

    Vaccines have been created to protect individuals against serious, often deadly diseases. Although many advances in medicine have been made, some parents are still hesitant to vaccinated their children. There are many articles published stating possible side effects of vaccinations, from allergic reactions to autism and much more. We all life live in the fear of what if, and we always need to weigh the benefits verse the risks. With that being said parents have the right to choose courses of treatment for their children, but sometimes it can be at the expense of others and at what point does the law trump the parent.…

    Many of these diseases like polio, measles, and mumps have not been seen in their generation. They have never been personally effected by any of these diseases so they feel as if they are vaccinating for diseases that do not exist and that the vaccinations are unnecessary. Parents should be educated that these diseases still exist and can cause harm to their children. They should be educated that the reason they do not see a high prevalence of these diseases is because the majority of people are vaccinated. An outbreak is possible like the outbreak of Measles that started at Disneyland with one case that spread to over 90 people.…

    Three major groups in society cannot be vaccinated: infants under the age of one, Cancer/HIV/AIDs patients, and people that are allergic to components of the vaccine. The first recommended dose of the MMR vaccine, also known as the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, is between twelve and fifteen months (Measles Vaccination). Disneyland park officials, to protect infants and children, strongly suggested that infants and unvaccinated people should not enter the park during the current situation (Ellis et al.). Anyone with a form of cancer, AIDs, or other illness that weakens his immune system cannot be vaccinated ("Who Should Not Be Vaccinated"). Because a weak, living virus is injected into a patient, the smallest trace of disease can attack…

    Vaccinations are meant to help prevent disease for formatting inside the human body, but they aren't the cause of disease from happening. Not taking the vaccines is putting others at risk that have taken them,because they are only effective if someone cannot spread the diseases to them on a wide scale. Some parents don't want to give their children vaccinations because of cultural or religion reasons, or even because they don't believe that the disease can affect their child because it hasn't been seen happening often in years such as polio. They don't understand that diseases just don't go away, they lie dormant until they can infect someone to help spread it again. This is why schools require all of the students to have their vaccinations…

    As the number of measles cases dramatically rises across the United States, so does the controversy surrounding measles vaccinations. The conflict between parents who refuse to vaccinate their children and parents who fully believe in the vaccination is being propagated by several bills, such as a new legislation in California requiring schoolchildren to get vaccinated unless there was a medical reason. But this new legislation raises another question: is the ability to refuse to give your child a vaccine an expression of class privilege? Instead of giving their children the vaccine, which would allow them to go back to school, some parents are simply having their child withdrawn from school and home-schooling them as an alternative.…

    Many parents believe that their children are receiving too many vaccines at one time. They believe this can be potentially dangerous to the child's immune system because it is not fully matured at the time of injections. They also believe that it can lead to adverse effects but the CDC claims that it is rare for child to side effects to vaccines unless they are allergic. As a result, parents refuse vaccines and believe their child can develop a natural immunity, but they forget that these deadly diseases can kill people. Also, the infectious diseases have been almost extinct over the past sixty years so they have never lived through the horrors of deadly epidemics because of vaccines.…

    Parents should not be able to exempt their children from vaccinations for philosophical or religious reasons. Vaccines have been proven effective and have even successfully eradicated deadly diseases, which in the past have taken the lives of millions of people. Vaccines have completely annihilated smallpox and are close to eliminating polio (11 facts). Smallpox itself was responsible for “300-500 million deaths during the 20th century” (History). With smallpox completely gone, millions of lives are saved each day.…
