At this phase of the 21st century, we should not be neglecting the things that concerns our health, the health of our children, families and loved π₯° ones due to what we have experienced from the past and those that happened not quite long. I mean from what we have seen through some break outs from disease π¦ , we should know how important taking vaccines should be. Both for adults and children.
Parents Involvement:
We could say many parents lost their children during the days when the awareness of vaccinations was not made available to them, and not just that, in the olden days, our forefathers and mothers were not educated and lived under ignorance, only dependent on local herbs πΏ which can not be administered to babies. So this made many parents to loose their new born to one disease π¦ or the other.
Why Prevention Is Better Than Cure.
And even before the Millennium era, between 50s and 60s, vaccines has being introduced, being made available to the local health centers and hospitals π₯, especially for the sack of new born babies πΆ and mothers for the prevention of some diseases like chicken box , measles , polio, and others, but the issue still remains the lack of awareness and education. Some parents at that time does not know how important these vaccines were, how it will help keep them and their children safety. This indeed made many to loose their children at tender age. If most parents were educated properly on why the need to get vaccinated, may parents would not have lost their children
And again, many who were aware of how important vaccines were , were also having challenges of how to get to the destination of where the vaccines should be administered to their children. The health center might be far from the village and transportation might be scares, unaffordable, which becomes a hindrance. In this instances , no parents will want their new born to suffer from any disease but circumstances might lead to one problem or the other causing lack of proper attention.
Vaccines And Sabotage:
Vaccination we all know is for prevention of one disease or the other, despite this, it has caused so many controversies because of how the manufacturers are sabotaging one another. In fact, companies pay people secretly to counter other companyβs vaccines , which has lead to how many people believe that vaccine is dangerous. Many believed it can hinder health, which others say it causes children to go through some feverish conditions, which is supposed to be normal after administration.

Vaccines were created to help prevent complicated diseases in humans and enable us stay save. So why the controversy? No manufacture of vaccines will invent anything that is dangerous to human health, so we should over look most of the controversies and think π our safety and safe care.
And again, why the fear π¨, vaccines should go through pharmaceutical boards of any country for confirmation that they are appropriate for humans and can truly prevent disease π¦ as the manufacturers has said. This in turn can help clear the fear, motivate every individual that are required to take vaccines to do so and at the appropriate timing. Be it for polio, measles for children or those for adults like breast cancer βοΈ. Every of these vaccines should go through screening.
However, I was able to immunize my children from their baby age. I made sure to follow the stated dates on their immunization cards and never missed out on any of them from zero age. And even while they were in their early classes in schools, government made sure to send out health workers to visit schools for the purpose of vaccination. So I see nothing wrong with vaccines and getting vaccination. It has helped prevent disease π¦ of all kinds to affect my children. And as an adult, I have taken vaccines, especially those that has to do with tetanus.
This is my response to the #hiveleaners featured content for week 215, edition 03.
