VACCINATION A PERSONAL OPTION ??
WHO SHOULD GET VACCNATED ?
VACCINE ---AGAINST DEBLITATING /CONTAGIOUS DISEASE LIKE
POLIO,
TETANUS
DIPHTHRA,
WHOOPING COUGH
TUBERCULOSIS
MEASLES
HEPATITIS B
WHY SHOULD EXPOSE ONE TO A DISEASE WHEN THERE ARE CHANCES OF EXPOSURE ARE REMOTE
LIKE HEPATITIS B ,
USUSALLY MODE OF TRANSMISSION PARENTERAL OR BLOOD PRODUCTS ,IF EXPOSEED CHANCES OF GETTNG IMUNSED ARE MORE THAN THAT OF DISEASES OR CARIER
THEN WHY IT SI A PART OF EPI NOW
1 TO SELL THE VACCINE AND
2 THOUGH WEAK BUT VALID TO DECREASE THE PROBABLITY OF EXPOSURE TO THIS DISEASE
Hepatitis E
SPORADIC CASES --THROUGH OUT THE YEAR IN PAKISTAN
EPIDEMICS ASO REPOTED IN PESHAWAR,MARDAN ,ABBOTABAD,ISLAMABAD,SARGODHA,MULTAN,HYDERABAD,QUETTA,AND KARACHI.
A LARGE EPIDEMICOF HEPATITIS E OCCURRED IN ONE OF THE ARMY GARRISONS AT LAHORE IN EARLY 1995,AND MORE THAN 600 CASES WERE TREATED AS INPATIENTS
LOCATION OF EPIDEMIC IS VARIABLE
ABBOTABAD --- THOUGH COLD AND CLAMMY AREA ,
ISLAMABAD MOSTLY AFFLUENT SOCIETY BUT POORS ALSO AVALABLE
KARACHI HAVE EVERY BODY IN BULK
NO BODY SAFE /.IMMUNE
THAT ARMY IS THE MOST POWERFULL AND PREVILIGEED CLASS IF THEY CAN SUFFER IN SUCH A MASS NO THEN NO BODY IS SAVE ,NO MATTER WHERE HE LIVE
SO IF THERE ARE CHANCES OF ENCOUNTERING THE DISEASE /ANTIGEN ARE THERE OR NOT
BUT IN THE EFFORT TO ERADICATE DISEASE LIKE SMALL POX BEEN ERADCATED THIS IS AN EFFORT TO ELIMINATE DISEASES AS AND HOW POSSIBLE
IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE ESSENTIAL NOT OPTIONAL FOR EVERY BODY TO GET VACCINATED
EVERY BODY SHOULD BE VACCINATED TO PROTECT EVERY BODY

Re: VACCINATION A PERSONAL OPTION ??
We only import vaccines from outside, we lack research and technology to make these vaccines here. Then how come we'll be able to eradicate contagious diseases mentioned above, because sometimes these diseases present in atypical form, requiring a separate vaccine.
Regarding TB, in 1960s in west, they did extensive research and made anti-tuberculous drugs. After eliminating TB from their countries, they stopped the research. Even today, we are using the same drugs made in 1960s. But we are still unable to control TB or even unable to make a legislation or guidelines for the treatment.
Now, TB is re-emerging in west, as a resistant one, so they have started doing research in the making of new anti-TB vaccine.
But what we are doing?
