VACCINATIONS
Dr. Steve Cave said, “Vaccines have become a necessary part of the world— for the current health of our children and for the future generation.” (Steve Cave, 22). Within the past decade, concerned parents researched on how effective and save vaccines are. Thomas Gale said, “Vaccines are the best defense we have against infectious diseases. However, no vaccine is 100% safe or effective.” Throughout history, plagues and epidemics lead to millions of deaths and the world was in need of vaccines. Vaccines are injections that comprise of reduced amounts of particular diseases. If doctors are injecting children with the disease they are trying to prevent them from catching, should the government mandate every child to have get …show more content…
The humoral immune system primarily consists of antibodies, the protein molecules designed to interact with an antigen. When the immune system is attacked with an antigen, anything that is foreign to the body such as germs and bacteria, it will begin fighting. Christine Murphy said, “Antibodies attack themselves to any foreign antigens like bacteria or parasites, that may exist in blood or body fluids outside of the body’s cells,usually coating these antigens as one step in the complex process of the destruction, digestion, and elimination of foreign matter by our immune system.” ( Christine Murphy, 19 ) The immune system has the ability to fight antigens on its own, but to prevent sickness to spread, doctors provide vaccines. One misconception is vaccines prevent diseases. It is the immune system that helps the …show more content…
Parents are more concern of the side risk instead of the long term results of vaccine. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 mandate that all health care providers make a note of any adverse events following vaccination. VAERS is licensed in the United States to track and to analyze events associated with vaccinations. Adverse events are any health effects that happen after the vaccine whether it may or may not be related to the vaccine. Approximately 10,000-12,0000 VAERS reports are filled every year. Twenty percent of the reports have been serious and or fatal. Since VAERS provide limited information, and cannot be according to laboratory results, scientist turn to large-link databases (LLDBs) in order to followup on vaccines safely. VAERS allows anyone to send a report about their child in a bias viewpoint. On the other hand, LLDBs gives researchers the ability to access their whole medical record. The patients medical records included all of the vaccines they had previously. Thomas Gale said, “ In the last decade, numerous changes in vaccine production and administration have reduced the number of adverse events and resulted in safer vaccines. A more purified acellular pertussis vaccine has been licensed for use and has replaced the whole-cell pertussis vaccine used in DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis vaccine).” (Thomas Gale, 26) Recent changes of polio vaccine have resulted in fewer
