Us childhood vaccines: In America, parents’ hesitation about vaccination of children is increasing continuously. The recent survey of Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) has made it clear that one of the six parents (about 16 percent) (about 16 percent) has either installed their children’s childhood regular vaccines or have left them completely late. It does not include flu and covid-19 vaccine, but also essential vaccines of diseases like measles, polio and diphtheria.
Which parents avoid vaccination?
The report revealed that this trend is more in certain groups. Republican bending parents, young parents under 35 years of age, home-schooling family and very religious background parents are reluctant to get their children vaccinated. Apart from this, this behavior was also found more than other groups in white parents.
Which vaccines are parents leaving?
According to the survey, many children like MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), DTAP (diphtheria, tetanus, percesis), hepatitis-B, polio and chickenpox are not available to many children on time. These are the same vaccines due to which the US had kept these diseases under control to a large extent for decades.
What is the reason?
In the survey, the parents gave many reasons, the biggest concern is for safety and side-effects. About two-thirds (67%) parents said that they are scared of the possible side effects of the vaccine. Some believe that not all vaccines are completely safe or not all are necessary.
Many parents also have trouble with the fact that young children are given many shots simultaneously. Some families believe that they can keep their children’s health better in other ways, such as through natural food and lifestyle. Apart from this, not trusting the government and health agencies is also a big reason, especially after misinformation spread during the Kovid epidemic.
Is this problem due to access?
Interestingly, most of the parents admitted that they do not have a problem like lack of time or a distance of vaccination center. That is, this hesitation is mainly associated with thinking and belief, not the problem of access.
How dangerous can its effect be?
Experts say that if the regular vaccination of children continues to decrease, then diseases that have already been controlled can spread again. Diseases like measles and polio can remain controlled only when a large number of children get vaccinated and “Herd immunity” remains in the society. This survey has raised a bell of concern for America. Fear, wrong information and lack of trust sitting in the minds of parents can become a big challenge for public health. Experts believe that the government and doctors together will have to do serious work towards raising awareness among people and establishing confidence in vaccine, only then this crisis can be avoided.
