EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROMOTION IN UK
Health is a resource for life rather than the goal for a living. For the past one century
immunizations against infectious diseases like polio, Pertussis, diphtheria, tuberculosis tetanus
and measles have saved an estimate of more than two million lives according to the world health
organization report.
Child vaccination has had great success in UK. This has been facilitated by the literacy levels of
the UK population. It is estimated that 99% of the total population aged 15 and above have
completed the five year schooling (World Health Organization, 2015) At least 99% of UK
population understand vaccination and know its importance therefore there is no ignorance to
child vaccination leading to great success in child immunization (Pretty et al., 2007). Research
indicates that there is association between parent education and the health outcome in children in
the developed countries.
The United Kingdom is categorized as a developed country, most of its population live above the
poverty line. For effective immunization programs, the parents should be able to cater for the
financial needs. Immunization in UK cost very little but benefit more health and well-being of
the society.
Every citizen in the UK considers their health and the health of their family an important issue,
hence there is no assumptions and neglecting of vaccinations. The parents ensure that their
children do not skip any immunization program.
The lifestyle of UK population is an important credit to the success of the immunization
programs. Families have good diet which is important for the children.
The education and health promotion can be credited for the success immunization in the UK.
