Summary For Compulsory Vaccination Programs Are They Useful.
The question asked: The benefits of compulsory vaccinations outweigh the risks?
Differing issues I believe will help answer this question are:
Viewpoints For
- The use of compulsory immunisation programs how are they effective, financially viable and work to reduce mortality rates successfully in poorer nations globally.
- Some common misconceptions about vaccination and how to respond to them.
- Taking a look into a systematic review of the positive long term effectiveness of compulsory vaccination programs of children
- Noting the positive effects of iimmunisation programs in reducing health inequality for indigenous people.
Viewpoints Against
Is Compulsory Vaccination Useful
There is a query on this issue as we speak with differing but interesting thoughts regarding the benefits of compulsory immunisation by vaccine as useful in saving thousands of lives. Are the benefits much greater if everyone is vaccinated than if not, for that reason it would be necessary that as many people as possible are vaccinated, with as few obstacles as possible as to not limit the large scale results from vaccinations. Aimed at large population groups, vaccinations target against preventable infectious diseases returning. Promoted through government authorities and medical health organizations stating compulsory vaccinations are useful protection against diseases, are they correct or are vaccines effectiveness overrated and a dishonesty to people by not fully realising the impacts from artificial immunisation.
- The other side about compulsory vaccinations are they safe,the views taken from a selection of the medical fraternity
- Natural immunity as a better defence against mandatory vaccinations.

The other opposite view on immunisation leads towards homoeopathic/ natural immunity practices.How vaccinations operate are known through trials and research but homoeopathic on the other hand is practice followed by only a minority section of health scientists nationally touting homoeopathy as a all natural system of medicine.A homoeopath is treating the individual with highly diluted substances,then triggering onto the body’s natural system of healing to provide natural immunity. Homoeopathy aims towards the enhancement of the natural killer T cell making the body’s natural defences more powerful,as the best natural defence providing the most of our resistance to disease.Evidently based on their specific symptoms, a homoeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to each patient clearly believing this is the safer option for natural immunity.
Viewpoints For
World Health Organization and Unicef global defence in compulsory immunisation programs with data, how they work, implemented, financial costs, research and vaccine safety with monitoring the successful reduction in infant mortality rates globally.
Viewing a online PDF version of this 3rd edition of the World health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF for compulsory immunisation programs. The book identifies statistical data on global declining rates of infections and death related to infectious diseases such as: Diphtheria, Measles, Polio, Pertussis (Whooping Cough) and Tetanus benefits compulsory vaccination programs. These health organizations monitor the impact of immunisation and efforts to meet the goal to reduce deaths among children under five within non industrialized countries involving the development and use of vaccines and at the safeguards that have been put in place to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality. By monitoring immunisation progress with results showing lower mortality and infections and the cost of scaling up the annual immunisation expenditure average coverage total for low-income countries per live birth. WHO and UNICEF analysis is used to calculate how much it would cost to attain vaccinations for the 72 poorest countries, an estimated funding flow of US$ 25 billion to support immunization expected to become available from government, multilateral, and nations joined together to continue to finance immunisation programs ( the GAVI Alliance) and including other sources. These health organizations believe compulsory vaccinations are the most effective way to protect the large populations against disease infections.

In the USA the government department of centres for disease control and prevention highlights the inaccurate or can be misleading information on vaccines and vaccination. Discusses six common misconceptions about vaccines and their effects by looking at past immunization programs were noted periodic peaks and valleys throughout the years, but the real, permanent drop in case of measles in the U.S. coincided with the licensor and wide use of measles vaccine beginning in 1963.Then discusses drops of compulsory vaccination programs in other developed countries and the re-emergence of childhood diseases rise again in those countries while the USA has the same level with no major increase. And the idea of herd mentality as the ability to resist an attack of a disease because the majority of the population are immune to an attack of a disease.The disease passes from person to person so when a large portion of the population is immune,most likely through immunisations then this protects those who aren't immune or cannot be immunised they expect the majority of other children are immunised,so why get vaccinated.Voices that one infected individual can then spread infection to other people who are also not vaccination spreading rapidly by compulsory vaccinating it limits the cases of infections to rises plus builds up immunity against disease, vaccinations strengthen the immune system not weakens it.

A systematic review of the adoption of compulsory vaccination programs and immunisation effectiveness of children in Sweden
This study talks of historical use of vaccinations and the eradication of smallpox in Sweden through WHO global compulsory vaccination program. A project had then been structured to address a number of specific questions for each vaccine by conducting a systematic review of the research on the vaccines included in the Swedish child vaccination programme. The main goal was to methodically identify the evidence for the efficacy of each vaccine that was studied and to describe the magnitude of vaccination risks. The project was structured to address a number of specific questions for each vaccine. The project focused on a systematic examination of the efficacy and adverse events of the tuberculosis vaccine (BCG), MMR, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B vaccines. The project then carefully examined the adverse events of a combination of vaccines that contain tetanus, diphtheria, polio, pertussis and haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines, either with or without hepatitis B vaccine.Then by the project took careful examination of morality rates, the results clearly showed compulsory vaccination programs worked. This is an example of an successful compulsory vaccination program:Smallpox was eradicated in Sweden by 1967 and by 1976 Sweden then stopped administering the vaccine.

Immunisation: reducing health inequality for Indigenous Australians
From the Medical Journal of Australia an article discussing a report focusing on the status of vaccination programs for indigenous Australians is not as comprehensive as for other Australians thus allowing indigenous health to continue to lag behind. Promotes the idea for compulsory vaccination programs for Ingenious Australians by using as example an early hepatitis A outbreak within indigenous communities in Queensland.Discusses data with the recognition of high infection rates and three deaths from hepatitis A outbreak in far north Queensland in the 1990's led to a regional vaccination program targeting Indigenous children aged under 5 years from 1999.This virtually eradicated hepatitis A in both the indigenous and non-Indigenous population.This article accepts vaccinations are safe and a well accepted intervention to develop health care delivery targeting Indigenous Australians is important and noting the characteristics of successful programs need accurate data on vaccination status and active promotion of services and effective community collaboration between health authorities and providers including respectful recognition of the Indigenous culture is mentioned.

Video “Vaccination - The Hidden Truth”
This extremely informative video documentary containing 9 chapters and runs for about 8 minutes with the title of Vaccination - The Hidden Truth (1998) where fifteen people, including the main qualified medical spokes person Dr. Viera Scheibner (a PhD researcher) and includes discussions from five medical doctors, and other researchers, reveals what they conclude and what they think is really going on in relation to illness and vaccines through their research. The facts they use come from orthodox medicine's own peer-reviewed research. Discusses government and medical promotion of vaccination for prevention of disease, the video is devoted to presenting the other side of the issue about vaccines and compulsory vaccinations. The result is an account of the ineffectiveness of vaccines and their often harmful effects clearly highlights the risks of vaccines and compulsory vaccinations.

Natural immunity as a better defence against mandatory vaccinations
Though dating back to 1998 this book was written by an doctor of some standing holding a Baccalaureate Degree in Health Education and Communications, Masters Degree in Development Education, and PhD.This books theme aims towards homoeopathic/natural practises and this online version contains relevant information on what natural immunity is in great detail.
Divides into three sections.
Section 1 contains information with negative views on immunizations and its effectiveness, consistency of vaccines, the extent and nature of vaccine damage and long term delay of adverse effect from immunization.
Section11 leans towards priorities in development of world primary care in natural immunity.
Section111 adding that physical exercise and concentrating in on an improved diet can enhance the natural killer cell. To increase the use of vitamins A and C makes the body’s natural defences more powerful, and it is in these natural defences provides the most of our resistance to disease. A form of individual risk analyses would be taken into account associated with chemicals in soil and risky substances in vaccines or exposure to viral and bacterial infections with ensuing symptoms and the risks to not vaccinate would it not only affect them but the people around them, highlights that natural immunity is the best defence and siding against vaccinations.

Conclusion
Through the World health Organizations WHO and UNICEF having detailed accounts or strategic plans with added background information all sourced well and tells you in detail a of actual decline in world mortality rates due to compulsory vaccination programs which have been implemented throughout past decades in non industrialized nations with comparisons to compulsory vaccination programs in developed nations. Another source I found useful is the USA government department of centres for disease control and prevention highlights the inaccurate or can be misleading information on vaccines and vaccination. Describes details on immunisation had critical detail as well with the methods of distribution, tracking and results using vaccines. This was useful to gage fact from fiction with data analysis of immunization highs and lows are common over long periods of time. Then looking into how a country involved with immunisation vaccination programs such as in Sweden is interesting to find out how successfully mandatory vaccinations were and the results addressed to identify the evidence for the efficacy of each vaccine and adverse events are important. Next the Australian medical association recognises and understands the need to improve compulsory vaccination programs for indigenous Australians. Compulsory vaccination programs are the better and safest way to control infection rates and deaths amongst Aboriginal communities.More work in implementing future vaccination programs is needed urgently.
Then looking the opposite way is a video discussing the dangers of vaccinations had interesting views on selected data in-discrepancies, harmful effects of vaccines.Joining their ideas is a book on homoeopathic/natural immunity voicing analytical and critical scientific information was interesting and quite useful too when seeking research data on specific diseases, adverse reactions, methods of improving the physical body to improve natural protection.
Finally I pieced together a view from all these sources coming from different perspectives on the usefulness of vaccines and compulsory/mandatory vaccination programs verses natural immunity. Clearly data gathered over long periods of time gained from different geographical regions, cultural and ethnic groups cannot lie, vaccinations have benefits and have a certain amount of risks attached to them, unfortunately for a small percent of people vaccines are harmful or can kill. We can say overall that compulsory vaccinations do work to reduce mortality rates when implemented and are the most effective way to protect mass populations against infectious disease outbreaks. I believe compulsory vaccination programs benefits do outweigh the risks.

Reflection
I began a search for the benefits of compulsory vaccination programs outweigh the risks and then changed my path to more on what’s a vaccines job,what's in it,how safe is it really and how we approach different dynamics such as culturally or ethically when vaccinations are applied.
Although vaccines do carry some risks to adverse effects,it looks clear with a majority of populations immunised worldwide, vaccination programs do control disease outbreaks effectively even though re occurrence does happen it is minimal in numbers.Then I looked into different attitudes such as natural immunity is the only approach to immunisation.Unfortunately there is limited proof statistically that it is the most effective response to immunity. If individuals wish to take the risk of not having the vaccine that is their choice and does personal emotion play a bigger role than facts in a parent’s decision to immunise children.Yes I think that is the case, unfortunately some children will succumb to an adverse effect from immunisation vaccination and it could lead to life-threatening problems or death.This factor cannot be helped we can see abundant amount of data on the positive success of compulsory vaccination programs over many years.This information for my own understanding outweighs any risks to groups or individual people. Compulsory vaccinations are worth the risk, and absolutely necessary.
