Childhood Immunizations: A Utilitarian and Ecological Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Per the preceding paper, it has been established that despite the public health platform, the family unit is seeking better answers regarding the efficacy and safety of childhood immunizations. Though it is collectively declared by pediatricians, public health officials and often members of our social network “the benefits outweigh the risks,” this paper utilizes sociological approaches to examine why a new wave of adults is beginning to take responsibility for the reality behind vaccine efficacy and safety. It is concluded that informed individuals will likely continue to make decisions regarding what is best for the health and well-being of the private family despite what is being conveyed by the public health platform.

متن کاملIncomplete Early Childhood Immunization Series and Missing Fourth DTaP Immunizations; Missed Opportunities or Missed Visits?
The successful completion of early childhood immunizations is a proxy for overall quality of early care. Immunization statuses are usually assessed by up-to-date (UTD) rates covering combined series of different immunizations. However, series UTD rates often only bear on which single immunization is missing, rather than the success of all immunizations. In the US, most series UTD rates are limi...
