Immunization

After getting their newborn immunizations, some parents do not persist on keeping up with their child’s yearly vaccinations. Parents themselves, are also among those who are under vaccinated. Although researchers have concluded that the possibility for this may be due to financial situations, vaccination myths and discredited information on vaccines are the main reason people do not get vaccinated. News, social media, and even political leaders have publicized false information given among…

schools require that a child has been immunized before they can attend; and this has started a lot of controversy from parents who feel that they should not be forced into vaccinating their children before they can receive an education. Generally, immunizations begin at birth and are continued in regular intervals throughout life. A newborn baby will have some immunity against certain diseases because the immunity was passed to the child from the mother before it was born and may continue to be…

The mistreatment of children has been an issue all around the world since the beginning of time and the amount of attention being focused on the issue has been increasing as time progresses (Lachman, 1996, para. 1). Even though laws regarding child neglect state that many things are considered to be child neglect, many of those things are still currently happening all around the world, and in large numbers. Many places in the world, like the United States and Africa, for example, both have…

Immunization Study or Stanford Prison Study? At first glance, the Immunization study would seem to have caused the most harm, but after reviewing the Stanford Prison study’s wide acceptance in psychology, the decision of which study caused the most harm is more difficult to determine for me, personally. The Stanford Prison study directly affected 21 undergrads, which is a low number; however, Susan Krauss Whitbourne, PhD (2013) struck me with her statement, “Zimbardo and his co-authors hoped…

The ongoing argument of whether immunizations for children should be a choice or mandated seems like it will never come to an end. In the year 2000, 10 vaccinations have become recommended for children ages 24 months and younger. Since the mandatory childhood vaccinations have been set in place, morbidity rates have decreased between 98-100 percent. The proclaimed risks that are linked to not vaccinating or under vaccinating children outweigh those that come with vaccinating a child. Medical…

so that one can identify and avoid them when trying to persuade someone. Most of the people use invalid and poor reasoning when constructing an argument. There are several policies in which an error in reasoning occurs, such as in gun control, immunizations, and universal health care. Gun control refers to the laws and policies that restrain the manufacture, modification, possession, transfer, sale, and use of firearms. One of the fallacies in gun control is committing a false casualty. This is…

According to world health organization (WHO, 2016.), Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant or an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect he person against subsequent infections or disease. (WHO 2016). Based on this definition, it is noted that vaccination is an early preventive means to protect against life-threatening diseases like Hepatitis B and Measles, Mumps and Rubella.…

A quarter of all deaths, annually, are the result of infectious diseases; immunizations and the programs dedicated to preventing these ailments claim to have saved three million lives, in the world, each year (Marfe, 2007). Economically, immunizations have an influence on medical costs associated with a healthy individual and their community. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2011) believes the continued human benefits and controlled medical costs are dependent upon preventative…

individuals that believe no human is more important than another, therefore no matter what, should not get the influenza immunization over anyone else. There are individuals that believe all humans should be treated equally, therefore would not agree with high risk individuals receiving the immunization first. As of today, there is no way to give all individuals an influenza immunization, thus we cannot think of everyone equally. Although it is nice to consider people equally, we must do what is…
