VACCINATION HESITANCY
The chosen topic is Vaccination Hesitancy.
Introduction
The refusal of taking vaccines or negligence of not giving vaccines to the children is known as
Vaccination Hesitation. Vaccines can prevent almost 2 to 3 million deaths per year. The
significance of Vaccination Hesitancy and the impact on individual, family, and community are
often significant in nature. The ultimate refusal and ignorance of vaccines often invite different
infectious diseases. These can aloes to the death of an individual. Measles and Pertussis are
among the most common diseases that occur with the ignorance of different vaccination.
Day by day the vaccination hesitation is increasing due to the ignorance of the parents, and due
to the larger population. There is a different anti-vaccine activist that results in different
outbreaks of consequences related to children. They are different concerns and awareness that
have been created by the health and medical practitioners in order to increase awareness among
parents and adults. These are generally implemented to change the attitudes that are ignorant
towards a proper practice of vaccination (Pottinger et al. 2018).
The family will be facing problem too because if they provide their children with the vaccines
the children will be safe from the highly dangerous diseases and they will be healthy, and if they
do not do so then the child can be affected by those unwanted severe diseases which may lead
the child to death. The community also gets affected by different means. A parent who believes
that vaccines are dangerous induces a mentality to the community that vaccines are not of much
importance. They reveal other parents that the vaccine is a mainstream medicine (Grall et al.
2017). This will generally affect the health of the child by which the other parents also get
influenced and start refusing vaccines. The community gets affected by such ill-logical concept.
The parents of the community start spreading rumors that are ignorant towards the ultimate use
of vaccination.
