? DID U KNOW ?

My topic is important because parents are scared to let their children receive immunization do to the many side affects. Their are 13 immunization shots to protect children from harmful diseases. Children receive 4 doses of diphtheria, tetanus & pertussis vaccine (DTaP) ,3-4 doses of Hib vaccine (depending on the brand used) ,4 doses of pneumococcal vaccine ,3 doses of polio vaccine ,2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine,3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine ,1 dose of measles, mumps & rubella vaccine (MMR) ,3 doses of rota virus vaccine ,1 dose of varicella vaccine , and 2-3 doses of influenza vaccine (6 months and older) (number of doses depends on child's birthday).As a parent children receiving those shots to preventing my child from harmful things is good , but also the side affects of the shots are sometime horrible to the child which makes parents confused about letting their children recieve those different type of shots.Dtap is not licensed for adolescents, adults, or children 7 years of age and older. A vaccine like any medicine is capable of causing serious problems such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of DTAP vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.About 1 out of 14,000 children have seizures. 1 out of 1,000 children has non stop crying for 3 hours or more. 1 out of 16,000 children have a fever over 105 degrees F. The Dtap vaccine very rarly include long term seizures,coma, lowered conciousness,permated brain damage.

In 2005 about 51,000 people became infected with Hepatitis B. 1.25 million people in the US have chronic HBV infection. Each year 3,000 to 5,000 people die from cirrhosis or liver cancer caused by HBV. HBV of U.S children began in 1991. Reports incidence of acute HBV among children and adolescents has dropped by more than 95 % and by 75% in all age groups.

Pneumococcal infection causes severe disease in children under five years old.Before a vaccine was available each year pneumococcal infection caused over 700 cases of meningitis, 13,000 blood infections, and 5 million ear infection.If you didnt get vaccinated health problems include pneumonia,deafness, and brain damage. Up to about 1 infant out of 4 had redness,tenderness,or swelling where the shot was given.Up to about 1 out 3 had a fever of over 100.4F and up to 1 in 50 had a higher fever over 102.2 F. Some children also became fussy, or drowy or had a loss of appetite.
