please respond to the following discussion below
Our clinic has a rigorous policy regarding patients that are high risk for the COVID-19 virus. We use telehealth if possible, and when patients come in (after answering a series of questions), PPE is observed by all who encounter the patient, and they are not allowed to sit in public spaces. We have a designated room that has limited items on the counters and is cleaned with bleach wipes. This practice is one option for treatment of patients who are unvaccinated. This compromise may assuage concerns of parents of high-risk infants (Neighmond, 2015).
The first response should be to actively listen to each reason. Education must be tailored to patients' needs, whether it is fear of the combination of vaccines, live attenuated virus, a link to autism, or allergic reactions. Education takes time, and we should plan to spend more than one conversation addressing this issue and offer printed material. We must provide information about the benefits of vaccination and potential consequences of remaining unprotected.
Vaccination is the administration of a vaccine to help the immune system develop protection from a disease . Vaccines contain a microorganism or virus in aweakened , live or killed state or protein or toxins from the organism .
Just like any medication or procedure , no vaccine can be 100% safe or effective for everyone because each person's body can react differently , while minor side effects , such as soreness or loe grade fever are relatively common , serious side effects are very rare and occur out of 1 of every 1000 vaccinations and typically involve allergic reactions that can cause hives or difficulty breathing .
However , vaccines are the safest that they ever have been in history and each vaccines undergoes rigorous clinical; trial to ensure their safety and efficacy before FDA approval . prior to human testing , vaccines are run through computer algorithms to model how they will interact with the immune system and are tested on the cells in a culture in the laboratory .
There are some myths are addressed to emphasize the safety and necessity of the important healthcare intervention .
1-) some are thoughts that the vaccines contain many harmful ingredients ;-
vaccines conntain ingredients at a dose that is even lower than the dose we are currently and naturally exposed to in our environment . Thimerosal , a mercurcy containg compound , is a widely used preservstive for vaccines that are manufactured in multi dose vials .
2_) Vaccines cause the autism and sudden infant death syndrome ;-
vaccines are the safe. Most vaccine sreactions are usually temporary and minor , auch as fever or sore arms. It is rare to experience a very serious health event following a vaccination , The benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the risk , and without vaccines many more injuries and death would occur ,science has not yet determine the cause of autism and SIDS . But alsos there is no evidence top link vaccines as the cause of autism or SIDS.
3-) Vaccines preventible disease are just part of childhood . It is better to have the disease than become immune through .vaccines.
Vaccines preventable disease have many serious complications that can be provided . Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response similar to that natural infection , but they do not cause the disease or put the immunized person at risk of its potential complications.
4-) A child can actually get the disease from the vaccines ;-
A vaccines causing complete disease be extreamly unlikely , Most vaccines are inactivated ( killed) vaccines and it is'nt possible to contract the disease from the vaccines . A few vaccines contain the live organism ,. and when vaccinated lead to a mild case of the disease not to be said disease it is a mild fever or rash to develop but only a few spots . This isn't a harmful , and can actually shows that the vaccine is working.
