Essay Sample about Immunization

Immunization is a way to cure a sickness that has been widespread ever since 2019. I think it's a good thing that we are able to find a type of vaccine that would help keep us safe from this widespread virus. Which still roams the air in different parts of the world today. It sucks how it affects our everyday life and how it is required in school, employment and travel. I will talk about my perspective on how I feel about the vaccine.

This article talks about the school vaccination laws and how it affects families. It plays a role by increasing the doses and having people successfully take two doses that are completely sure and safe from the widespread coronavirus. This has been going on since the late 1970s and schools had been more strictly enforced because of how the spread of measles would occur throughout also as said in the article, Parents may legally avoid vaccinating their children with personal exemptions. Three types of exemptions exist: medical, religious, and philosophical .” So the parents don't accept the idea of infants being vaccinated because of how the side effects affect one's immune system. Other reasons are because there are different religions that either don't believe in vaccinations or lab-made medicines.

Another reason is employment in the workplaces, where people who work and have to be around multiple people tend to have to be precautious nowadays because of the continuing virus spreading throughout the world. It also affects people from getting jobs because they would have to be vaccinated to make sure they aren't infected by anything. That's where the difference occurs because most people don't believe it won't work and refuse to get vaccinated because of the bad things said about the doses or the side effects. Some information to back this up, this article says “ Pathway and receptor control measures have been implemented in the workplace. No single intervention is sufficient at preventing spread, so vaccination should be combined with other measures, such as working remotely (elimination of hazard), workplace adjustments (re-designing workplace configuration to enable social distancing), adjusting work processes (staggered shifts and changing of works hours) and providing personal protective equipment (PPE).” They also explain how workers should just be cautious and aware of this virus. 

Of course, traveling becomes the next topic because now it's becoming a hassle on who is being vaccinated and safe and how will most people be able to travel to wherever they want. Now, yes I agree on the whole vaccination stuff, but also I don't because it affects everything in our life, such as having to wear masks, social distance from one another, and having violations to certain things we do in life. Some information I've found talking more on transportation from “A blanket vaccination requirement would simply discriminate against non-vulnerable groups, such as Generation X, Z, and Millennials, who should be able to travel with proof of a negative Covid test “, as said from one of the news reporters. So really, the good thing is that transport would only be okay if the covid tests came out negative and clear to know that it's okay to travel abroad. 

Lastly, the coronavirus affected our environment where we all had to have a pandemic and isolate ourselves for months or even a year or so. There's this article that explains how we managed to get through the pandemic indoors. What all happened throughout the days of quarantine were mask inquiries, food shortage at times, isolation, random illnesses, etc. In this article, ”In late December 2019, an outbreak of mysterious pneumonia characterized by fever, dry cough, and fatigue, and occasional gastrointestinal symptoms happened in a seafood wholesale wet market, the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, in Wuhan, Hubei, China.1 The initial outbreak was reported in the market in December 2019 and evolved about 66% of the staff there. The market was shut down on January 1, 2020, after the announcement of an epidemiologic alert by the local health authority on December 31, 2019.” It also explains how isolation became known as a problem during this era. But overall, we bounced back from this by being able to be out in public now and in school. 

All in all, getting a vaccination is a good way to be safe for our health and immune system. With all the requirements we have to have, dealing with school, getting jobs or while in the workplace, traveling, and also from the pandemic. All these things could change our life for the better or the worse. From schools being cautious with us children and bringing safety to the situation, and jobs requiring validation to get the vaccine to be accepted into the community to being aware to take precautions of not being infected by any of this flu-like widespread. The pandemic was tragic and especially with different patterns we have to still kind of be aware of. In the end, we still could survive this widespread or maybe infectious virus, but it would only be up to our ecosystem. It’s also up to our choices on what we choose or do that would change the situation of the immunizations.
