Immunizations
- 2. VACCINES AND IMMUNIZATION How vaccines work: • Immunity Some people argue it is better to be infected by the disease naturally such as chicken pox to build immunity… -however vaccines are proven just as effective without the increased risk of complications, discomfort, or death
- 3. THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINES AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS By vaccinating one child, the whole community is helped Herd Immunity- is when enough people are vaccinated that the chance of one person being exposed to a disease is substantially lower Statistics: According to the national network for immunization information… In 1964-65 there were 12.5 million cases of rubella– in 2004 there were 9 cases Before 1963 there were 3 million cases of measles and 500 deaths each year—in 2002 there were 44 cases of measles In 1940 there was an average of 175,000 cases reported annually each year of pertussis (whooping cough)– in 2002 there were only 9,771 cases Children not vaccinated with the measles are 35 times more likely to develop the disease
- 4. THE CONS OF IMMUNITY 1955- an outbreak of Polio was caused by the live virus being injected into people from the vaccine 1970- a link was found between the pertussis vaccine and brain damage Vaccines are injections and can have allergic reactions They have also been found to have side effects such as.. 1. Localized swelling 2. Fever 3. Crying Some people believe autism has been linked to the mandatory immunization program Even though they are relatively safe, vaccines carry toxins and carcinogens
- 5. QUESTIONS Should public school require vaccinations despite the risks? Test Question: True or False: One your body is exposed to a disease it builds memory cells on how to fight the disease that can last for decades. True

Notes de l'éditeur
- -vaccines work by injecting dead or strongly weakened antigens. These antigens are not strong enough to make you sick but they are strong enough to kick the immune system into action -by doing this your body learns how to fight the infection and creates memory cells on how to treat it -memory cells can remember how to fight these infections for decades—creating immunity for the person -always better to prevent a disease than to treat it -immunizations are cost effective and a good investment
- Some children for various reasons such as medical, financial, or age cannot be give vaccines If one child is vaccinated it helps to stop the spread of the disease all together which increases our communities health All of these infectious diseases have significantly decreased because of the vaccines These diseases are now not only more treatable but also very preventable While these diseases are very rare now vaccination is still crucial If vaccination stopped the diseases would come back and become epidemics
- *for the autism no clear evidence has been shown for either side Increase in autism did occur after the MMR vaccine but it is not known if research and diagnostics were part of the cause Vaccines start about 2 months and autism shows up around 8 months
- Some people have medical conditions/ vaccines are not the best option for them and there is controversy on whether or not the government can force people to get vaccines
