Influenza pandemic

Hi Antoinette, I think it is wonderful that you are able to reach so many people to spread the word and educate them on the Zika virus and prevention. I honestly never thought about having school nurses and the school board get involved with this. School nurses not only have the ability to educate the students but the faculty and parents as well (Fisher et al., n.d.). School nurses play a key role in health promotion and educating as well as decreasing the spread of diseases and infection.…

To what extent should a knower group judge the value of knowledge gained by others? “Without application in the world, the value of knowledge is greatly diminished,” is a claim that one could use to answer that knowledge question. However, some areas of knowledge rely more intensively on application than others, so the claim is much too oversimplified to fully answer the question. Knower groups in one area of knowledge may not agree with another group’s form of application or some groups may not…

The one view point on this issue is that vaccinations are safe and necessary for children. It has been pointed out that…

Many people’s lives are put on the line everyday because they do not get themselves or their children vaccinated. This is due to the anti-vaccine movement here in America. Although some people believe they should not get themselves or their children vaccinated, in reality you should get vaccinated. People should get vaccinated because of the dangers of measles, meningitis, and that children are more prone to terrible diseases. One of the many reasons to get vaccinated is because of the grave…

It has come to my attention that many people in our country believe that vaccines cause certain diseases. I am writing this letter because I fear that if the people in my community aren’t vaccinated then my family could contract some of those illnesses. If people aren’t properly vaccinated then they could catch deadly diseases, spread those diseases, and even endanger the entire world. Getting your shots every year will dramatically decrease your chance for getting sick. When we don’t get…
