NURS 230: How Vaccinations in Children Prevent the Transmission of Diseases using Evidence-Based Practice

We are going to be explaining how vaccinations in children prevent the transmission of diseases using evidence-based practice. How has it been proven that being vaccinated as a child reduces the transmission of preventable diseases? Over the last couple of years, there has been a dispute on whether vaccinating your child produces more positive or negative outcomes for the child. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if the rates of people being vaccinated dropped greatly, then diseases could become as prevalent and deadly as they were before there were immunizations discovered (2018). In our presentation, we will be defending how vaccinations are needed and how they help to protect your child and everyone else from catching and spreading a harmful disease. If more children are vaccinated at a young age, then the commonality of diseases like whooping cough, chicken pox, measles, and meningitis would decrease greatly because less people would be vulnerable to these diseases. This topic is important to us because without vaccinations, diseases that are no longer seen today may return and put ourselves and loved ones in danger. Diseases spread fast and without the proper understanding of how transmission can be reduced, our world is in a vulnerable state.
