(2010). Using the theory of planned behavior to predict mothers intention to vaccinate their daughters against HPV. The Journal of School Nursing, 26(3), 194202. Example is below After carefully researching the study of assessed mothers intentions to vaccinate their daughters, it believed that it would prompt children to be sexually active. At least it seem to push that agenda towards a positive attitude for vaccinations for (HPV). On the other hand, they express that numerous mothers believed that there is little risk factors to vaccination. There is no disagreement that vaccine refusal is the cause of outbreaks. More than 70 percent of measles cases this year were in people who had received no vaccines, and in all, 88 percent of cases were associated with under-immunized, close-knit communities. Yet parents decisions have effects that can reach far beyond these networks and neighborhoods. I personally believe it crucial to vaccinate your children and yourself to ensure the safety of the community. On-time vaccination throughout childhood is essential because it helps provide immunity before children are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Vaccines are tested to ensure that they are safe and effective for children to receive at the recommended ages. Vaccines protect your child before they are exposed to a disease. That is why the HPV vaccinations are recommended earlier rather than later, to protect your child long before they are ever exposed to the virus. Many doctors dont recommend the HPV vaccine because it means they have to talk to parents about sex (Mullin, 2017). A great tool used to track vaccination history is advances in electronic communications have been essential in enabling the rapid sharing of health and safety information. Many parents feel that they cannot trust the sources, which create the vaccinations. Currently health care professionals like Doctors, Nurses will take the time to sit and explain the benefit of getting vaccine. The reality is that the scientific research behind vaccinations is scary. Most people was educated may decline the action due to the impact on the numbers of children. It is critical to contain disease with vaccinations. It has been estimated that for each U.S. birth cohort receiving recommended childhood immunizations, around 20 million illnesses and more than 40,000 deaths are prevented, resulting in $70 billion in savingsReferences:3.
