Vaccines are necessary for both the prevention and elimination of disease both in the community and worldwide. Parents make decisions every day to keep their children safe and healthy. From choosing the right car seat to selecting the right diet, parents consult experts, family, and friends to make the right decisions for their child. The choice to immunize is no different. The disease-prevention benefits of vaccinating are much greater than the risks and possible side effects for almost all…

that vaccines are the cause of many medical conditions and disorders in children. Scientist Natalie Smith made a comparison between the increase in the number of autism diagnoses and the change in the percentage of children who received the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine between 1980 and 1994 in California. Her results are summarized in the following statement: “Although a dramatic increase in the incidence of children with autism was reported, the percentage of children who received…

Current statistics have documented that an excess of “up to 40 percent of parents in the U.S. to delay or refuse some vaccines for their children” (Haelle). This staggering statement concludes that there is a cause for concern in regards to vaccinating children here, in the United States. The overwhelming percentage of parents who choose not to vaccinate, for whatever their reasons may be, versus those who do vaccinate, has created a recently debatable question. Should parents be required to…

protective because they provide only artificial, temporary, typically inferior immunity compared to what your body would receive from natural exposure to a disease” (Mercola, para. 16). This is why during outbreaks of infectious disease like the mumps, both vaccinated and unvaccinated people have been affected. One must ask themselves, is all the risk worth it if the vaccine might not even…

the immune system still has the ability to produce certain antibodies that can recognise and attack the organism if you get exposed to it. These are also called preventive diseases which are used to prevent diseases like polio, chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, influenza (flu), and hepatitis A and B. There are…

On the sandy shores of Mexico in 1519, Hernan Cortes strode off of his ship and stepped into unfamiliar territory. Around the small group of conquistadors was a half-naked crowd of native Aztec people – people who thought that Cortes was a messenger from their gods. Little did these so-called savages know, within a few short years millions of their race would be massacred and their way of life would be destroyed. Up and down the coast of the New World, Europeans took advantage of the weaker and…

A nurse uses subjective and objective data to assess patient and the five nursing process to conduct patient’s health care. Interviewing patients is one first step. This paper discusses the health history of Mrs., family medical history, and overall reflection of the interview. I have an opportunity to interview Mrs.…

For many first world nations, vaccination has benefitted their respective areas by drastically lowering the rates of disease, death, and infant mortality rates; thus, it’s an alarming finding that up to nine percent of American citizens believe vaccines are unsafe for human usage (Dost). Within this paper, it is my goal to explore the limits of autonomy in regards to parents and children, the ways in which this particular viewpoint can affect more than just the local community, the applications…

Over the last few decades vaccinating children has been up for debate. Vaccinations have been in use for over 150 years for potentially dangerous diseases, but there has always been protest to governments making them mandatory. Modern believers in the anti-vaccination movement have used case studies to “prove” their thesis that there are negative effects of vaccinations on children 's well-being. Consequently, an increasing amount of research has become public to prove there are no negative…
