A whole lot has been said about Immunization and
vaccines. Success stories have been recorded and some people wished that
certain vaccine existed in their time. Even with these facts, some people do
not still believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to protect against most
communicable diseases in children.
It is startling to note that while some
pharmaceutical companies in the world, researchers and scientists e.t.c work
round the clock to ‘deliver’ on discovering more vaccines to put an end to most
communicable diseases ravaging our world; there are still people who doubt the
potency of these vaccines. The anti-vaccines movement.
Vaccines are gaining coverage round the world; The
Rota Virus and the pneumococcal vaccines help combat the leading cause of
deadly diarrhea and pneumonia in children. These diseases have being the
leading cause of death among st children 0-5 yrs. And these vaccines have
succeeded in keeping children out of the hospital around the world.
Making a woman believe in the potency and strength
of a vaccine is making the whole world believe. This will curb all the
anti-vaccine movements.
Am much as million dollars are dedicated to discover
vaccines, more money, time and resources should be invested in educating women
on the usefulness and effectiveness of these vaccines. The result of doing this
cannot be over-emphasized.
When the women believe, the result will be an
immunized population, a population who will breed healthy children, that will
live to see their 5th birthday and beyond.
When women believe, the world will truly be informed
that vaccines work and that they give parents the power to protect their tots
from 14 serious diseases before they turn 2. Vaccinating them according to the
recommended schedules is one of the best ways we can protect them.
