Rubella

Task A Q1 (i.) The second dose of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine had the greatest delay as it should have been administered at 48 months of age, although it was administered 1-6 months late and in some cases more than 6 months late (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2014, p.155). (ii.) 57% of the second dose measles, mumps and rubella vaccines were administered 1-6 months late as well as 9% of doses were given more than 6 months after the schedule point (Australian Institute of…

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that 732 thousand American children were saved from death, and 322 million cases of childhood illnesses were prevented from 1884 to 2014 due to vaccination (“Vaccines”). Massachusetts was the first US state to make a law stating it was mandatory to vaccinate school children in 1855. Now, all 50 states require vaccinations for children entering public schools but, no federal law exists. All 50 states will permit medical exemptions, 48 allow…

with autism coincides with the rising use of the Measles Mumps and Rubella Vaccine (MMR), it is understandable how some would make this claim. Although the correlation between the two may be apparent to some, studies done cannot find enough evidence proving that the vaccination is at fault for autism (Madsen, M.D. 2002). In 1998 a study led by Andrew Wakefield suggested that there was evidence that the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR) had a direct correlation with Autism. This caused a…

Impetigo is a infection of the skin that can be easily transmitted and it forms crusty sores after the blisters detonate. Both impetigo and scabies, which are easily transmitted skin pathogens, are found in moist or tropical places, comparable to tinea capitis and tinea pedis. The tinea impetigo often forms as pustule, a small pimple-like dot that eventually transforms into a blister and ruptures after that. Symptoms of impetigo and also scabies include blisters, pus-filled sores and in some…

aborted fetuses to get the right strain. The purpose behind originally collecting these tissue samples develop a rubella virus vaccination strain, although unknown to most people, rubella is an extremely mild virus where most individuals get a large rash, or simply do not show any symptoms at all; rubella only becomes dangerous to a women when she is pregnant. Considering the aspects of the rubella disease, there was absolutely no reason to abort fetuses for a vaccination, in fact, according to…

severely disabled people just a few generations ago. For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide. Your children don’t have to get smallpox shots any more because the disease no longer exists. By vaccinating children against rubella (German measles), the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn has been dramatically decreased, and birth defects associated with that virus no longer are seen in the United States. If we continue vaccinating…

the measles-mumps-rubella MMR vaccine has allegedly overlapped with an increase in the frequency of autism in California. The measles virus used in the MMR vaccine is a live weakened virus that normally causes no symptoms or only very mild ones. However, wild-type measles can infect the central nervous system and even cause post infectious encephalomyelitis, probably because of an immune-mediated response to myelin proteins. A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and…

vaccination outweigh any potential risks. ‘These childhood diseases are serious, with potentially grave neurological complications including encephalitis’”. (Web MD, 2015). Measles can lead to seizures, Mumps can lead to hearing loss, and meningitis, and Rubella can cause birth defects and cause pregnant women to lose their baby. Getting the MMR shot is a benefit for the child, not you. Your child will be at risk for these serious, sometimes fatal…

Immunization is a tremendous help when a child has a disease or a virus, but also can hurt a child, and not help. Medications help any possible way that they can. Infant mortality rates between the nations appears to be linked to the numbers of vaccinations given to babies before the age of 12 months. Babies can receive eight or more vaccines simultaneously at a doctor’s visit, between 2 and 15 months of age. By the age of 18, the CDC recommends that children should have gotten 69 doses of 16…

for advice. The reasons why you should follow the recommended schedule for your child’s vaccinations are the following: To begin with, according to CDC, in the olden days, before vaccines were made, diseases like whooping cough, polio, measles, and rubella hit a lot of infants, children and adults in the U.S. This resulted in a huge number of people dyeing every year from the diseases, however, most doctors have never seen a case of measles recently. As vaccines were developed and became used…
