Procedure of vaccination has experienced new birth during the past thirty years. Progress in science and business has driven the field of vaccination to the stage where vaccines are recognized as one of the key points of pharmaceutical industry growth and vital element of mankind immunization. This health invention is simple, powerful and cost-effective at the same time. It has protected billions of people all over the world from polio, smallpox and many more other hard diseases with only a few doses (Minna Stern and Markel).
According to Satcher society has the right to receive safe vaccines, but still no drug or vaccine is 100 percent without risk. Scientists together with governmental health departments of many countries are still working under reduction of the vaccine risk applying new surveillance systems, making vaccine safety researches, adopting administration policies on safe vaccines and providing educative information to parents, medical institutions and everyone else who is a potential user of a vaccine.
Satcher states the following:
Two recent examples reflect the emphasis we place on providing the safest vaccines possible. Beginning in 1996, to prevent pertussis in infants, we began use of a safer, newly-licensed vaccine. In recent years, we have switched our polio immunization strategy from primary reliance on oral polio vaccine, which very rarely causes polio (1 in 2.4 million doses), to inactivated polio vaccine which never causes polio.
However efforts to make vaccines as safe as possible still leave a chance of adverse reaction in a small number of vaccine recipients. Pursuant to Satcher there is the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) that provides a financial support to families suffering after the receipt of vaccine.
Some researches find a connection between almost all forms of vaccines and autism. Young parents worry about measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine as there are a lot of Internet rumors that MMR vaccine causes communicative disorders and autism.
However the benefit of MMR immunization is incredible as those people who blame MMR vaccines are to young to remember or did not experience effect of these diseases. The most dangerous out of these three according to Jeffrey and Dennis (2007) is measles that causes complications of pneumonia and encephalitis. And as a result of vaccination, that in 99 percent decline the disease, people have forgotten horrible impact of measles, mumps, and rubella.
According to Baker and Clements British investigator Andrew Wakefield in 1997 issued and article were he described several events of autism signs developed in children following the MMR immunization. He suggested possible inflammation of the gut by these vaccines that provided intrusion of an unspecified toxic substance into the bloodstream. Thimerosal, based on mercury preservative that was used in almost all vaccines starting from 1980s is blamed to cause autism. This information began to circulate in mass media thus reducing reputation of the vaccines.
