Immunization Strategies: Fascinating Children

Decent Essays
Two strategies I haven’t considered before:
1. Detect, prevent, and report child maltreatment. This is difficult for me because, I don’t want to believe that a child is going through abuse, or anything that is harming them. As teacher, I need to notice a sign. I am trying to follow what my high school counselor said “If you don’t act, you won’t get”. If I don’t act, then something will happen. Reality isn’t nice, and helping a child will make their reality safer.
2. Meet immunization requirements personally. I feel in this class I will learn about what immunizations needed for the children. Parents worry about what immunizations might do to the children. We don’t know the risk but I feel like they are needed to avoid dieases and children

    To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter concerning the topic of vaccinations and permitting religious and philosophical objections to our current laws and recommendations. It is my personal opinion that laws on vaccinations should be tighten and enforced. Families that choose not vaccinate their children, should have some type of punishment that would give those said families a little more of a push to vaccinate their children. I believe that we should do vaccinations at the school, that way you could ensure that more kids are getting vaccinations and don’t force the parents to figure a way to get all their kids to get vaccinated, and they can just rely on the school. To tighten laws on vaccinations we should be looking at percentages…

This led to 3 epidemics, and at least 100 children dead after catching the disease.” ( Choices, 2015).
