PUTRAJAYA : Most parents who refuse to
vaccinate their children are those who live in the cities and are highly
educated, said Health Minister, Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam today.
“The ministry has detected nearly 1,600
children who did not get vaccinated last year and this figure is increasing
every year”. By Bernama – July 28,2017 @ 11.37 pm
Why do you think this is happening, what
are the arguments for the refuse of vaccination?
Most parents, they
said that they care about their children, but they somehow refuse to take
precautions step, one of them is vaccination. First of all, vaccination is a
treatment with a medicine, called vaccine in order to produce immunity against
a disease. But, most parents, they think that vaccination is dangerous for
their children, as the doctors are using syringe, and they also think that the
vaccination is useless, since that they think that they could easily bring
their children to the hospital or just purchase the medicine from the pharmacy.
On my opinions, I
would say that most parents they think that the vaccination is pointless. They
somehow think that when their children are sick, they might just bring their
children to hospital, and let the doctor do all the work. There’s one said that
‘Prevention is better than cure’. So, here, what we can relate from the saying,
is that vaccination is one of the way to prevent the children from getting sick
and what not. Let’s compare the vaccination with the doctor’s treatment. With
vaccination, chances on getting the diseases are somehow low, but, when you are
sick, you already have the diseases. It just that you need the treatment in
order to cure the diseases. So, here, I would like to state once again, that
parents are somehow think that the vaccination things are pointless, since they
can easily go to the doctor for consultation, and they didn’t know that
vaccination is the one of the prevention on getting the disease.
Next, the parents
think that the vaccination treatment is dangerous. Somehow, the parents think
that the immunization will give side effects to their children. To be honest,
vaccination is very safe and effective. The immunizations are only being
treated to children after a careful review by scientist, doctors, and
healthcare professionals. The doctors could not simply give the children the vaccination,
without knowing the information regarding the vaccine, and the children’s
issue. Also, the doctors are the one with the clarification, and they are the
ones who credible enough to do the vaccination. Side effects such as allergic
reaction, are very rare cases. The advantages of getting vaccines, are
significantly more prominent than the conceivable reactions for all youngsters.
So, the parents should not easily afraid of their children getting vaccinate,
since there will be a good logical reasons, on why the children getting
vaccinated.
To make a
conclusion, most parents didn’t want to vaccinate their children, due to not
care enough about the vaccination, and also the afraid on their children get
vaccinate. From my point of view, the vaccination is a good and scientific way
in order to prevent one’s life from getting the dangerous diseases. The immunization
also can help the children from spreading the dangerous diseases to the future
generations.
