“The use of vaccines has greatly reduced the morbidity and mortality attributable to several childhood diseases. Childhood vaccinations remain some of the most favorable and cost-effective prevention strategies available,” states Matthew Davis, the Chief of Academic General Pediatrics and Primary Care in the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern Medicine, in a 2002 research study done in many different countries (Davis et al. 1982). Childhood vaccinations have allowed the world to be where it
Vaccine refusal is the intentional rejection of the use of vaccines by an individual, or other individuals by themselves, their guardian, next of kin, or the government. Due to the measurable immense benefits of vaccines, it is the general assumption that their use will be widely supported and publicised, especially by governments of nations that are constantly challenged by one health problem or another. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and, in fact, in this Twenty-First Century, vaccine
Vaccine was defined as ‘weapons of mass protection’, the discovery of vaccine is an important step in World Health. Edward Jenner and Louis Pasteur observed the phenomenon in which the individual recovered from some infectious diseases and they were resistant to subsequent re-infection, also they gave an early imputes for the development of vaccine. In 19th century Pasteur discovered the possibility to artificially modify the virulence of an infectious agent and to enhance a protection against it
A vaccine is defined by The World Health Organization (WHO) as “a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease”. Vaccines contain an agent that resembles a disease-causing infectious organism that is made from weakened or dead microbes, its toxins or one of the microorganism surface proteins.(1) When vaccines are administered to the human body, they stimulate the body's immune system. The recommended vaccinations for adults, according to the Center for Disease Control and

The word vaccine which was derived from the latin word vacca which means “cow”. After this research into other diseases continued. In the recent decades, rumors about vaccines have spread. Rumors like: they cause autism, they are not necessary
majority of people thought that vaccines against this HIV would be developed and applied rapidly. But, this was not going to happen in case of HIV as in AIDS, virus-induced immune response possess no ability to prevent re-infection and also not capable of slowing down the progression to disease. The development of an HIV vaccine took almost 30 years of intense laboratory and clinical work. And because of this intense work, today we are closer to develop an HIV vaccine but, it is difficult to predict
Some advancements in medicine, such as vaccines, are not as accepted as others. Requiring vaccinations can interfere with religious freedom. Also, some parents feel they should have the right to decide whether Republicans not to vaccinate their children.

One of the significant benefits of having vaccination is that it controls the spread of infectious disease like dengue. In line with this, different disease-preventive measures were being held in different communities that includes vaccinations. Vaccination programs held in the community aims to
A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease, according to World Health Organisation. Vaccine is weakened or killed form virus or microbes that cause epidemic. Oxford dictionary sates that epidemic is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time. Vaccine that injected into the body will trigger our own immune system to produce antibody. Vaccination is done by several time to make the body well prepared to fight when the
The Good the Bad and the Vaccine Vaccines, a term that gives some parents the peace of mind and makes some parents anxious. Vaccines makes our bodies ready to fight disease and viruses more effectively by introducing our body to microscopic amounts of viruses and bacteria. Common deadly diseases such as small pox that took many lives has now been eliminated because of the smallpox vaccine. In the past common diseases such as polio, rubella is now a rare case because of vaccination. To prevent public
1.2 What kind of MMR vaccine exists and when it is given? The measles, mumps, rubella vaccine is made up of a live-virus, which means that the virus is weakened although alive. This happens so as the body is able to recognize the virus so it will fight it if it ever gets in the body. There are three separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella. Nevertheless, the most common vaccine is given in the form of three in one. The MMR vaccine is recommended for all young children, which is given at

Results from the studies has many proves that the presence of anti-vaccine has proved negative relationship with pro-vaccine society (Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1984, 59, 1195-1196). The reasons of these anti-vaccine to overcome vaccine are vaccine is very dangerous, the feeling of powerless, disillusionment, and mistrust in society. These result showed the

Vaccine or no vaccine? Should people more importantly kids be vaccinated against disease such as mumps, measles, and rubella or would that hurt and make the child sick? This is a much debated question. Getting the vaccine would help the kid a lot by protecting him/her against many crucial and deadly diseases, but not getting vaccinated would not make the child sick from what could occur after the vaccine but, leaves the child at a huge risk. This is an important question because it lets everyone
