...Non-vaccinated Children Allowed to Attend Public Schools – This Is Not Acceptable Assignment 4 – Persuasive Paper Part 1: Revision of a Problem Exists English 215 February 24, 2013 This is a question that every parent must consider when they allow their school-aged child to attend public or even private school. How do you feel about allowing your child to attend school with children who have not been vaccinated? Would it bother you? I’m sure there are several different answers to these questions. This paper will focus on the reasons why unvaccinated children should not be allowed to attend public schools as well as the benefits of vaccination. Every parent wants to raise a healthy child. Every parent wants to make sure their child is protected from infectious diseases and wants to do everything in their power to prevent any illness in the future. Every day there are thousands of babies born in this world and as parents we know that their immune systems are not ready to take on the illnesses that this world has. So why not protect your child? The American Academy of Pediatrics state that childhood vaccines are 90 – 99% effective in preventing disease. The risks of not being vaccinated far outweigh the small risks associated with vaccination. This is an issue that some parents face each time we prepare our children to attend public schools. We all know the common cold is air born and school aged children are prone to picking up that strand from another child. There...

...that has saved millions of lives. Every parent wants what is best for his or her child and by taking a couple of doctor-recommended shots every year, parents can help protect their children. If every parent made sure that their child was vaccinated, then maybe one day diseases could be eradicated. Vaccinating children and teenagers is important because it can help give them a healthy life, it is safe, and it can save lives. Many people, mainly parents, believe that vaccines cause more harm than good. They think that shots can damage or even destroy the immune system of a child...

...Many controversies surround vaccinations, one of them being the fact you have to vaccinate children before they can be accepted into school. Many claim that vaccines can be harmful or just don't want to give their children vaccines, others side with logic and reason, giving their children the required vaccines for school and proper health to ensure their child's safety. Anti-vaccine parents tend to worry about the rare side effects and the ethical morality behind the science, that they obviously do not understand. They question the integrity of the scientists and their research. So instead these parents go to dodgy websites that smudge data or flat out lie to their readers. Instead of looking at both sides of the argument they instead choose...

...Unvaccinated Children: Should they be allowed in public schools? Assignment 5: Persuasive Paper Part 3: Possible Disadvantages, Answers, with VisualsYour Name Lisa Teitler Eng 215 March 13, 2016 Unvaccinated Children: Should they be allowed in public schools? Today’s vaccinations are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to ensure their effectiveness and safety to the general public. Currently there are no federal laws which mandates vaccination, but there is a vaccination requirement per state for children entering school. The chart below details which vaccines are mandated for public school by several states: Children who are not vaccinated have a greater chance of death than children who received the required vaccinations. The safety of vaccinations is in questioned by many, asking if they are safe for children to receive. They are safe and should be required for children since those vaccinations help prevent illnesses, lower the risk for some diseases and it might even cause financial growth. There are several advantages of receiving the recommended vaccines. One advantage is that they are designed to put foreign antigens into the body so the body will produce antibodies to fight it off. The body will produce two types of immune responses when an antigen is introduced in order to ensure total immunity from the disease. Vaccines ensure that children get immunity from diseases instead of contracting them. Having immunity is a major advantage...

...Topic: Vaccinations General Purpose:To Persuade Specific Purpose: To persuade people that vaccinations are a good thing. Thesis Statement: Everyone should be vaccinated or support vaccinations because (1)vaccines are safe and effective (2) you reduce the chance of spreading the disease to family members and the community and (3) you don’t want to pay the price of getting sick. Attention Step Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year; today, most doctors have never even seen a case of measles. Like all of you, I am part of the lucky people who have been vaccinated, however, there are many people around the world who are not as fortunate and others who are simply beginning to deny vaccinations. After researching vaccinations, I have become very aware of how much they actually benefit our society. According to the cdc, vaccines given to infants and young children over the past two decades will prevent 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 932,000 deaths over the course of their lifetimes. Vaccines will have saved $300 billion in direct costs, such as medical expenses and a total of more than $1.3 trillion in societal costs over that time, because children who were spared from sometimes-devastating illnesses will...

...they want to send their children to public school or private school. Which public school is determined by what district or zip code you live in. Private schools are stricter were parents have to pay tuition and sometimes the child has to go through an interview to attend the school. The schools focus on the child’s health record and determine if the child has been given the proper vaccines. The parental rights are then questioned if the child is not up to date with their vaccinations. The schools then let the parents know that their child will not be allowed to attend school until their child has the proper vaccinations determining what is right for your child. Neither the government nor a school system should be making decisions on if your child should be allowed to attend school based on vaccinations, because vaccinations are not 100% effective. Parents should be allowed to send their children to public schools unvaccinated because they pose no threat to the children that are vaccinated. Vaccinations to enroll in school seem to be ill-advised and have no true basis. One cannot help but wonder how an unvaccinated child can actually affect a vaccinated child, if the vaccination is serving its true purpose. However, since the 1980s, as stated by Stay “the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention worked with state legislatures to require every child to provide proof of immunization in order to enroll and stay in public or private school, and began to see reductions...

Three problems will be identified in the course of this paper as well as support to show the true application of these problems. Finally a solution is proposed and discussed after a summarization of the problems. Unvaccinated Children: Should we allow them in public schools? Every day one of a parents greatest worries is the health of their child. As they get older and venture out of the house and out of a parents sight more often, children are exposed to an even greater risk of illness. The culmination of this is the day a parent puts a child on a school bus and sends them off for the first time. One of the biggest fears of the modern day parent is the health risks of sending a child to public schools. While they claim to be safer in the modern world, the exposure of children to one another in a confined place for days on end still continually results in easily contracted illnesses. Children are constantly reported as having flu’s or colds that can be traced back to an entire classroom of sick children. So why should they be exposed to extra illnesses and even sometimes...

It concludes with an assessment of India’s role in NAM and asks how successful the policy of nonalignment has been in protecting India’s interests. The end of the Second...
