Vaccination Persuasive Speech
I like how you admit that prior to being educated about primary prevention, you were skeptical about vaccinations. As healthcare providers, we understand the importance of primary prevention. Our training and research is telling us that vaccines are safe and effective, but the public doesn’t have our training. Public skepticism comes from several anti-vaccination campaigns which claim that vaccines contain dangerous additives, promote allergies, and are linked to autism and brain injury. In addition, a lot of people mistrust government sources and pharmaceutical companies. Thus, as primary care providers, we have our work cut out for us. All we can do is to provide education and support. Ultimately, the decisions are up to the patients. Sometimes

    One of the controversial/hot topics or issues nowadays in health care in the US and the world as a whole is vaccination. The main purpose of vaccines is to control and prevent communicable diseases. The target is to vaccinate about 99 percent of the population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “about 1.5 million children under age 5 years continue to die annually from diseases that are preventable via the administration of vaccines, making up approximately 20 percent of overall childhood mortality” (Maternal and Child Health, n.d). The WHO continues to argue with evidence that vaccination can prevent death from pneumonia and diarrhea which are the leading cost of death among children under five years old. Although vaccination…

    We always hear on the news and in the papers about children catching diseases and sicknesses and often dying from them. Why is all of this happening when these diseases can be easily prevented? Parents can easily go and get their children immunized. Some parents think it is healthier for their children. Is it really that much safer for children to not get immunized and what about all the other children they are around? Immunizations should be given to children because, it is healthier, it is safer for other children, it helps to wipe out certain diseases.…

    Some people hear the statement, “It’s time for your vaccines!” at the doctor’s office, and they begin to get nervous. This may be because they have heard bad things about vaccines, or they’re afraid of the needle. Vaccines are for your own good, and others too. They protect you and others from diseases and the spread of diseases. Vaccines aren’t just about the three second sting that you get from it. They’re about your health. They protect your future, as well as others. Lastly, you don’t have time to get sick- then regret not getting vaccinated.…

    Vaccines are responsible for minimizing the risk of many deadly diseases and even eradicating some completely.

There is a segment of humanity that believes there is a credible association between vaccines and rising autism rates. The following articles will show that there are varying ideas on the best way to disprove vaccination opponents, yet no solid solution has been reached on how to convince vaccination opponents that their fears are unfounded.…

    Eighty seven percent of women and eighty one percent of men become parents at some point during their working lives (aaup.org). That is a pretty high percentage of people whose lives change when they find out they are expecting a child. You suddenly become responsible for another human being. A part of that responsibility is making extremely important decisions that will affect your child’s health and wellbeing, such as deciding whether or not you want to get your child vaccinated. This has been an ongoing debate for decades, but only in the last decade has it become at the forefront of American political discussion. Both sides of the debate have positives and negatives, but the real question is: which choice is ultimately better for your child?…

    Ever since the 18th century humans have safely and effectively protected people from diseases through the use of vaccines. Back then, vaccinations were considered a miracle whereas today they have caused a lot of controversy and are seen by some as a curse. Some people think vaccines are beneficial and necessary to prevent deaths. Others think vaccines are the worst possible thing to put into someone's body. Among parents/people's biggest fears is the possible link between vaccines and other dangerous side effects or developmental problems. Additionally, while the adjuvants used in vaccines may improve immunity they may also create other health concerns and problems.

    I am writing to express my concerns about the number of people who are not being vaccinated in our state. In Pennsylvania, we have one of the worst vaccination/immunization rates in the United States with only 87% of the people being vaccinated correctly. Vaccines protect people from preventable, spreadable diseases by providing immunity to the disease the vaccination is for. However, we have read news about the outbreaks of diseases that we thought were gone in the United States, like recent measles outbreaks. Why do people choose to take a chance that their child might get a preventable disease? Why do parents take the chance of their own child spreading a preventable disease to other people who do not have immunity? It is scientifically proven that vaccines even save lives.…

    Vaccination Arguments

    • 269 Words

    To think that a vaccine can save a community is to believe that a single grain of rice can end world hunger. Sure, if everyone was to be vaccinated, perhaps there would be a difference. However, the reality is this is not the case. Several people believe that kids who are not vaccinated impose health threats on kids who have been vaccinated. This belief is flawed because the kids with the vaccines are the ones who are bringing the viruses into our schools. The vaccines carry the very virus that they are supposed to protect kids from. An additional factor that must be considered when looking at the big picture is that the superintendent's forcing parents to get their children vaccinated is the groups that fail to do so.…
