The Pros And Cons Of Vaccinating Children

Throughout civilized history humans have constantly been battling pandemic using an infinite amount of methods to cure whatever ails the state, society, and individual. When a procedure or substance was determined to remedy the disease, it was used by all of those who could acquire it for their safety and it produced superior public health although now there is controversy as to whether or not that is the case. Some argue that required vaccinations should be dictated by law as they allow for greatly increased public safety and general wellness, while others argue that vaccination for children is negative for their health and development. Vaccinating children is the safest and most logical decision for individual and populous health. A vaccine

Vaccine hesitancy is influenced by a combination of factors including: availability, agreeability, and misinformation. Rumors, cost, geographical barriers (mainly in less developed areas), and influential political leaders can also cause vaccine hesitancy in a populous. No specific demographic is the largest vaccine rejecter although the reason for denial is often similar across a demographic (“Vaccine” “WHO”). The World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations stated that “people who delay or refuse vaccines for themselves or their children are presenting a growing challenge for countries seeking to close the immunization gap.” Globally, 20 percent of all children do not acquire lifesaving vaccinations. Of those 20 percent, it is estimated that 1.5 million children die each year from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines (“Vaccines” “WHO”). Many of those deaths were caused by vaccine hesitancy. By refusing to get vaccinated, children were much more susceptible to the disease that would infect and kill them. Certain vaccines must be required because if a populous does not receive vaccines for diseases that may appear in pandemic, it could cause the fatality of integral percentages of that population. Vaccine hesitancy can be eliminated through education, state regulations, and laws calling for vaccinations to probable pandemics. If citizens

Often the discomfort for vaccines and even all professional medical attention can be caused by logical reasoning based on past events. It is not uncommon for distrust of westerners to jade a tribe’s or area’s majority decision in whether or not to accept vaccination. Often technologies brought by westerners (primarily missionaries) prove helpful for a short time but do not last as long as old methods. For instance, missionaries often give villages wells with electrical components that work faster and are easier to manipulate than the Archimedes screw or common well the village was using prior to intervention, but when that electrical system is damaged beyond repair and the foreigners have left, they revert back to the way they have always known. Although the well is just a single example, it is events such as these that cause disillusionment with new technologies among primitive societies (“Vaccine” “WHO”). However, it is important to remember that vaccine hesitancy is not only in tribes and small cultures, but also in mainstream developed nations like the UK and US. Mandated Vaccines can be viewed as violating to the Constitutional freedom of religion. However there is also controversy over the exact meaning of the phrase “freedom of religion.” Vaccine refusers often claim that the government is violating their religion
