Between December 2014 and March 20 it was reported nearly 150 people in seven states in the US have measles. These people are considered as part of large measles outbreak linked to an amusement park in California. The outbreak probably began a visitor who was infected with measles during your trip. Thereafter, he visited the amusement park that led to measles outbreak Disneyland. An incident like this requires global health authorities to seriously consider immunization. However, by making it mandatory is a great debate. We will discuss the issue, immunization should be mandatory?
Yes Support
• Some diseases like measles is extremely contagious. It can infect 90% of those present around the patient who are not immunized. Immunization may prevent the spread of these diseases.
• If people can remember, polio was one of the most concerning issue in India and the world. However, with proper network established for immunization, the problem is almost eradicated in India.
• The risk of immunization are low, and in the case of many vaccines is limited only to the common symptoms such as swollen glands, fever and pain in the temporary joints. So when there is a low risk, why can not be compulsory immunization.
• Whenever there is an outbreak and people who are not vaccinated are quarantined for at least 21 days, the costs are higher. Also, people quarantined lose time and money. Such problems can be eliminated by compulsory immunization.
• Refusal to get immunized may become costly for the government having to spend so much money and manpower to control the outbreak matter.
Do Not
• It is the personal decision of an individual if he wants to be vaccinated or not. The government can not make decisions about the health of people.
• There are numerous side effects of vaccination. Risks may be low but still the fact that risk there can not be ignored.
• The costs of mandatory vaccination resort again the Government to increase total spending in the country.
• The passage would not focus on the eradication of the disease. Compulsory immunization has to do with the big pharmaceutical and the huge amount of funds that are given to reach an endless supply of inoculations.
• The big problem like autism is said to be one of the major side effects of immunization.
Conclusion
Here, it is important to understand that vaccines are for the good of people and prevent increase the chances of a deadly outbreak in the future. The only goal of vaccination is to keep people safe and well. However, again in democratic countries can not force people to be vaccinated without their consent. Instead of mandatory vaccinations would be better to make people aware of the many benefits of immunization to help them make informed decisions.
The government must evaluate each vaccine on its merit and actual requirements and then put it in your letter. There are many vaccines available in the market that doctors prescribe to make money for the big pharmaceutical companies and earn a profit from them. This commercialization of research and medication has to be stopped.
The important vaccines should be mandatory, but at the same time, the government must have an objective view of what is really important and necessary.
