IMMUNIZATION AND CORONAVIRUS 2
Research
Immunization is the process by which an individual is made immune through the
administration of a specific vaccine to make him/her resistance to an infectious disease. The
immunization process is the most appropriate tool that has ever been proven to eliminate and
control a variety of life-threatening and highly contagious diseases. The vaccines boost the
immune system of someone’s body and protect it make a person invulnerable to subsequent
diseases (MacDonald et al., 2018).
Over many years, immunization has been the most cost-effective health investments and
easily accessible even by the vulnerable and hard-to-reach population. These vaccines have been
known to avert around 2 to 3 million deaths per year. The vaccine has contributed much in
today’s society, especially decreasing some of the infectious diseases in all ages of the
population. The elderly have benefited more through vaccination in both high- and low-income
countries. The main goal of immunization is to eradicate the disease. This ideal has been possible
since the disease like smallpox has been exterminated, leading to discontinuation of the
mandatory scheduled immunization program for smallpox (Pezzotti et al., 2018).
Childhood immunization is not compulsory in all countries, though it is a crucial aspect
of childhood prevention measures against life-threatening infectious diseases. The World Health
Organization (WHO) has expanded the program of immunization globally. A certain study
concerning the decision by parents to immunize their children showed that most of the parents
chose not to vaccinate any of their children. They based their informed decision on the
assessment benefits and the risk factors of immunization and accepted the responsibility of their
decisions. Most of the parent seems to demand more information about the pros and cons of the
