Writing a Literature Review: Should Vaccines be required for Children?
Theory and research are linked in quantitative and qualitative data in the sense that theory is the prime mover with respect to research, making sense out of various isolated empirical generalizations. When research is done, many authors begin to write literature reviews in order to support the topics of discussion. Literature reviews can inspire new ideas, and help lay the foundation for studies (Polit & Beck, 2010, p. 170). Researchers begin to gather their data through qualitative, quantitative, and evidence-based research in order to support their general findings. When writing a literature review, researchers provide readers with a background for understanding current knowledge on a topic (Polit & Beck, 2010, p. 170). The primary focus included in this literature research is: Should vaccines be required for children? In order to elaborate on this current issue, a secondary question that can be asked is: How does a parents view on vaccines affect whether or not a child will be vaccinated due to the belief that it may cause autism? Identifying questions within the topic is the primary action of writing a literature review (Polit & Beck, 2010, p.172).
In order to properly write a literature review, one must be acquainted with the steps in order to write a literary review. It is important to begin devising a search strategy to gather research. In this case, Florida International University provides students with an online database filled with articles, e-journals, and other research tools to use when trying to gather information. This database software gives you options for restricting or expanding your search, for saving your search, and so on (Polit & Be...

  • Argumentative Essay: Vaxxed: From Cover-Up To Conspiracy

    736 Words  | 2 Pages

    In todays society there is an astonishing amount of information that is available to the public. From all the media outlets like the News, film documentaries, books, our peers who make assumptions, our health care providers and the the internet. Most of the information on vaccines comes from the internet, and about 43% of the formation is anti-vaccination. There we can find misleading or falsified information by health care professional who are not experts on vaccines. Andrew Wakefield a former doctor and a known anti-vaccination advocate, falsified his work that connected autism to vaccines. Which is why his film “Vaxxed” was removed form the film festival. Parents who are uneasy about vaccines believe that the negative side effects outweighs the good. Their fear is that vaccines can cause health problems, like autism. In 2009, the CDC cited nine different research studies that stated, that there was no connection between vaccines and autism. However this has not quelled the controversy or calmed parents fears for there

  • The Dangers Of Vaccines: The Benefits Of Vaccines

    People also believe that if they do not have the disease that they have no need to receive the vaccine (Franklin). “The thinking goes: Why take a chance and vaccinate my child for a disease he or she won't get, or at the worst will cause nothing more than a rash” (Franklin). Many people do not want to spend money and time on vaccines if a chance exists that their child will not get the disease or virus (Franklin). Most people are unaware about vaccines. Some may think that they do not need to receive the vaccine because there is a possibility they will not get the virus or disease (Franklin). People think there is not enough information on vaccines (Franklin). They think that vaccines have the possibility to cause autism (Franklin). A great deal of research has been conducted on the topic of vaccines (“Vaccines Still Best for Children”). In 1998, a study was published that said that there was a link between vaccines and autism. Since then there has been multiple studies, led by the Centers for Disease Control that have proven the link between them incorrect (“Vaccines Still Best for Children”). Some people have the misconceived idea that if there is a chance that they will not get the disease that there is no need to receive the vaccine (Franklin). It is important for people to receive vaccinations because the possibility of

    The Denver International Airport opened on February 28th, 1995. It wasn’t available for use nearly 16 months behind schedule costing 4.8 billion dollars, two billion over the spending budget. It is 35,000 acres which makes it the second largest airport on the planet and is about double the size of the next largest airport. The reasoning for opening a new airport for Denver was mysterious because Denver already had a functioning airport. This airport is also a whole 6 miles outside of Denver; basically, in the middle of nowhere. The entire roof of DIA is made of 15 acres of Teflon-coated, woven fiber glass. This material makes it impossible to find the place using radar.

  • The Consequences of Skipping Childhood Vaccinations

    This is a main connection to the decline in unvaccinated children. “Using the internet to find medical can be helpful, epically if used to generate questions you can put to your doctor’s instruction. It shouldn’t be used to at the exclusion of medical professional or to become your own medical practitioner” (vaccine your kids, paragraph10). If we’re starting to use the internet for medical information why do we need doctors? Well most people don’t have a degree to be a doctor, so we shouldn’t use the internet without a doctor who can verify that this information is true. If parents are using the internet to decide that their child shouldn’t get any vaccinations then they should consult a doctor to show them that they are only hurting their child because there is no scientific evidence that vaccines are harmful. They go through a long process before being released to the public. About 2.5 percent of kindergarteners weren’t fully vaccinated this is the highest decline since the 1970s (vaccine your kids, para graph 8). With a decline in vaccinations we could see decade old diseases show up because children aren’t vaccinated. The 2.5 percent of kindergartners of unvaccinated children is in correlation with parents using the internet to become their own medical practitioner. If parents keep up with using the internet as a knowledge of medical info we can see

    This international health crisis requires appropriate strategy in place to ensure effective and timely response. It is impossible to determine when an H1N1 pandemic will occur but the ability of a nation to effectively manage it (when it occurs) largely depends on how prepared they are. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises that since there is no way of knowing when the next pandemic will occur, it is necessary for governments authorities to prepare with strategic plans that will enable them manage the situation (2005). This involves an awareness of the potential for a pandemic and the availability of a contingency plan to manage it when it occurs.

    Vaccines against diphtheria, polio, pertussis, measles, mumps and rubella, and more recent additions of hepatitis B and chicken pox, have given humans powerful immune guards to ward off unwelcome sickness. And thanks to state laws that require vaccinations for kids enrolling in kindergarten, the U.S. presently enjoys the highest immunization rate ever at 77%. Yet bubbling beneath these national numbers is the question about vaccine safety. Driven by claims that vaccinations can be associated with autism, increasing number of parents are raising questions about whether vaccines are in fact harmful to children, instead of helpful (Park, 2008).
