Regular childhood vaccines

Ever since 2008 started, the commendation is that all of the kids of the Americans starting from age 6 months to around 18 years old gets a yearly flu vaccine, but the rates of the flu shots are quite lower than most of the conventional childhood vaccines for the diseases such as measles, whooping cough as well as polio. At present, there is a current national poll that shows that most of the parents living in the Us who don’t have kids vaccinated yet against flu vaccine weren’t able to rate the flu vaccines as much as other vaccines meant for kids.

In January of 2016, the University of Michigan poll on the health of the kids to ask for the national sample of the US parents for comparison of the yearly flu vaccines that other suggests vaccines for kids as well. the lead author and an affiliate of the National Poll says that even if there is a considerable public health exertion, the flu vaccine rates for the US kids are quite below the national targets.  The poll finds around 59% of the parents with kids who were never given flu shots this particular season, because they think that the vaccine is not as important as other vaccines meant for kids. While around 14% only of the parents with kids who did get the flu shots had this interpretation.

The importance of the flu vaccine test

Moreover, 35% of the parents who joined the survey said that they have seen flu vaccine as not important as other vaccines needed by the kids, while 33% of them were viewed as less useful. Just as the same, 16% of they think that the flu vaccine went through less amount of tests than the other vaccines that are already out in the hospitals, while 15% of the parents said that they think this will bring more adverse effects to their kids. The ratio in showing the negative opinions was quite higher in the parents who didn’t have their kids vaccinated for flu this season.

In checking why some of the parents do not trust the flu vaccine, the researchers have discovered that a lot of parents do not actually believe in the power of flu vaccine and that they do not believe that this is safe for their kids. They do not believe that this can help their kids during the flu season. Just the same, 1,367 parents have joined the poll and they have finished it. 52% of those who joined said that their kid had taken the flu shot this season; these are parents with kid’s age 1 to 5 years old, while the 6-17 years old were not likely to believe that the flu shot can help them. The confusion of the parents against flu virus as an ineffective type of vaccine is because it is quite different than the other vaccines in some ways.  For instance, the parents normally wish that the vaccines will restrict their kids from getting the disease, they explained.
