around the world. With increased accessibility and affordability of vaccinations, diseases like Hepatitis B can eventually be eradicated (Weinbaum, Williams, Mast, et al., 2008). The APHA is also instrumental in their work with science literacy and translating published research articles into plain language. For example, the APHA website includes a large set of fact sheets that address information about how vaccinations work and why they are especially important for… Continue Reading...
9 months, 2 years, 4 years, and 5 years of age). She used a vial of Hepatitis B vaccine that had been expired for 30 days but still was being stored in the unit refrigerator. She gave the five immunizations within a few minutes of each other, and she got the vial from the refrigerator only once (i.e., She did not take it out and replace it five times). She took responsibility for the errors when she was informed by her unit manager.

is 16 times more than Europe (World Health Organization, 1999). Transnational trade is one of the major risks to global health. This is because globalization through transnational trading has led to increased spread of disease (Da Silva, 2008). Hepatitis B and other viruses can be transmitted internationally through transnational blood product trade. The trade of food products, disease variation of Creutzfeldt-Jakob and bovine spongiform encephalopathy are other ways diseases can be transmitted internationally (Da Silva, 2008).
Environmental harm due to the unsustainable industrial actions of the developed nations is another negative impact of globalization. Environmental harm has resulted to depreciation of the social quality of the environment hence greatly affecting the health of the people (Da Silva, 2008). These consequences have a great meaning to the Advance Practice… Continue Reading...
a relatively standard battery of immunizations, including inoculations for diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (Tdap), measles mumps and rubella (MMR), polio (IPV), Hepatitis B, chickenpox (Varicella). Some of these vaccinations have incurred controversy over the years, including claimed links to autism. Currently, for children medically able to be vaccinated Florida only permits religious exemptions from vaccinations. In other words, parents cannot opt their children out of vaccines purely due to personal conviction and stated fears. All 50 states permit vaccine exemptions for medical reasons (“Vaccination Exemptions,” 2018). These may include children with compromised immune systems or children with allergies to ingredients in the vaccines.
However, only three states—Mississippi, West Virginia, and California—only… Continue Reading...
