Health

Every kid has to be vaccinated
by Barbora Misakova

The question of health is the basic one. I would be there is no one who like lying in the bed with fever and have terrible throat ache. There is no doubt that parents are doing their best just to have all their children healthy with no medial problems. I see it on my mother, that anytime I come to her and tell her I am not feeling good, she is doing what she can just to make me feeling better. Of course, sometimes only mother's care and effort is not enough and some kind of medicament is needed. One of the most effective type of medicament is vaccine what is booster of immunity to a certain disease. Children are for example vaccinated against flu and older humans could be vaccinated against smallpox and other serious diseases. Now the question about vaccine comes from the U.S. where a federal advisory panel advises to vaccinate all children, except infants younger than 6 months. This means that about 30 million more children should get their vaccine too what would represent one of the largest expansions in flu vaccination in the history of U.S. Statistics show that although children ages 5 to 18 get flu more often than other age groups, especially children ages 6 months to 5 years and adults 50 and older have weaker immune system and for them could a flu presents serious threat which could cause other serious illness or even death. Experts also believe that vaccinating these age group could cut down days of lost work, when parents have to stay at home with their ill children. Vaccinating children against the flu could also prevent spreading this illness from children to adults and the elderly. If you are one of those who hate injections there is other alternative & a nasal spray vaccine called FluMist which is approved for people ages 2 to 49. According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices vaccination of children should start as soon as possible, and doctors should already order their vaccine for other vaccine season. Although vaccine market expects to be able to produce enough vaccines there is still possibility it won't be so. Problems could be also with small number of the doctors who will vaccine so many children.
