1,5 million of people loses their lives every year


The vaccination takes place among the most important interventions of community health. The Academic Member Dr. Bahar Nur Kanbur, who said that the deaths of 2-3 millions of babies are prevented every year through the vaccination, indicated that every child is entitled to the vaccination service and it is necessary for each of the parents to be aware of this responsibility.


The first week of April is celebrated as the ‘’Week of Vaccination’’ and various works are carried out for the protection of the people of all ages against diseases. The vaccination programs, especially the period of childhood, have been significantly successful worldwide and notwithstanding that the diseases that have been preventable through vaccination were reduced at substantial degree, the rates of vaccinations have not come to the required level yet. According to the data, announced by the World Health Organization (WHO), 1,5 millions of people lose their lives as a consequence of the preventable diseases.

CLAIMS OF ANTI-VACCINATIONIST NOT PROVED

The vaccination has been an effective and successful method that saves the lives of millions of people. It was proved that the highest numbers of measles cases of the last 20 years were seen in 2014 in the United States of America and most of these cases were determined on those, who refused the vaccination. The Academic Member Dr. Bahar Nur Kanbur, from the Department of Nursing of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Istanbul Gelişim University, who indicated that various allegations were brought forth such as the chemicals, contained by the vaccines were toxic, natural immunity was more effective for the prevention of diseases and so on, said: ‘’Various numbers of studies have been made with relation to the fact that the mercury, contained by the vaccines, caused autism, however, none of the studies so made has proved such allegations. The vaccination schedule, applied in our country, is constituted within the direction of the proposals of the Immunity Scientific Consultancy Board and by following related scientific developments. However, despite of all of these, some parents are doubtful about the usefulness and reliability of the vaccines.’’ By saying so, she emphasized that it was important to carry out the vaccination follow-up of children in order to maintain the success in vaccination and give consciousness-raising trainings for families.

VACCINATION AMONG THE CHILDREN OF REFUGEES IS AT LOW RATE

The diseases (measles, poliomyelitis/infantile paralysis) that have been permanently ceased in recent years started to be seen anew upon arrival of substantial numbers of refuges in Turkey as a result of the war in Syria having begun in 2011. The Academic Member Dr. Bahar Nur Kanbur, who indicated that it was determined at the end of a study so made that the rate of vaccination among the Syrian-origin children was low and that there has been a fall among the numbers of those having completed their vaccinations when the age grow higher, continued to say that the biggest question of the Syrian parents not to have vaccines was their language problem and it was also seen that they did not have sufficient knowledge and consciousness about the vaccines.
