- Utah has confirmed 10 measles this year, all of which are involved with those who are not vaccinated.
- Health authorities emphasize that MMR vaccines are very effective and provide successful prevention of up to 97%.
- Vaccine skepticism has grown and some do not get vaccines, but they want to avoid the disease.
Dr. Ryan Gottfredson, a pediatrician, talks with his parents about the vaccine every day, and most of the young patients with Uta Valley pediatricians are completely vaccinated. But he said, “I am not surprised to see the increasing number of measles in the country because more and more families are hesitant.
Some parents have been vaccinated after discussing their concerns. GottFredson, who completed the pediatric health degree and pediatric prevention health, said, “Overall, the family is small but the actual proportion is small, but the family ratio of the actual ratio is to see more damage to the family.
The issue of vaccination was confirmed by the fact that measles should not be a big concern in the United States because of the high number of measles nationwide and the case of more than 40 states or jurisdictions. It was considered to have been removed about 25 years ago, and it can be in danger given the recent onset and the number of cases.
Wednesday, the Ministry of Health and Welfare confirmed the new case and raised the total amount to the top 10 by 2025. The incident was confirmed in Utah County and southwestern health districts.
There were cases where 1,309 laboratories were confirmed on Tuesdays nationwide. Disease Control and Prevention CenterIt also said that it may also be suspected.
This year, there were 29 cases of three or more related cases (more than three cases) nationwide, and 92%of the identified cases include individuals who were not vaccinated or were unknown. Public health officials said that all the events of Utah, including nine adults and one minor, are related to those who are not vaccinated.
If someone does not actually trust and does not receive vaccinations, is there a measure that a family can take to reduce the risk of infectious diseases?
Information, wrong information and uncertainty
Dr. SYRA MADAD sincerely believes that vaccination is the best protection from measles, and can always be miserable and deadly. According to Deseret News, Madad, the chief biofrefice officer of NYC Health + Hospital, provides 97%protection of two doses of epidemic, measles, and rubella vaccines (MMR). If not, he said that it would be infected up to 90%.
Gottfredson agrees that MMR vaccines are important forms of protection. He is convinced that he is devoted to making decisions with love and believing that his parents are the best for their families regardless of the view of vaccination.
“They want to do the right thing,” he said. “They are probably worried that this would have done this wrong. Perhaps something about the vaccine will harm your children.”
He said that the questions about whether the epidemics were correctly treated, including medical advice, were poured into other things. GottFredson said, “It is strongly.
He added: “We have seen a lot of distrust of Covid vaccine, especially Covid vaccines with Kovid. It is unfortunate. It is a challenge to find out how we still do our best.”
His solution is to build and share decades of research that shows the safety and effects of vaccines, he said. But it is still not easy for those who are portrayed by the vaccine.
GottFredson said, “I didn’t want to harm my children by giving a vaccine with a vaccine,” said GottFredson. But they don’t want to harm their children by causing vaccine preventive diseases. Some people are confused about it and I sympathize with it. ”
People often point out contradictory information, he pointed out. Information obtained from sources such as social media or influential people may not match scientific claims.
He is convinced that the vaccine is more than valuable. They are the best ways to spread measles and prevent infection. But he tells his colleagues to be kind and confirms the impatience of people who do not agree or ask questions.
Advice on vaccines
As recently reported by Deseret News, the number of people who wanted children to go to school to get an exemption from being vaccinated has risen. The number of children who are completely vaccinated in the kindergarten has fallen.
Therefore, Deseret News asked what to do with parents or children who could not get vaccinations when they were too young to get their children from Gottfredson and their parents who had a medical state that could not be vaccinated when they were too young.
GottFredson reminds me that I have been sympathetic to the uncertainty that many people feel, but I have heard that your car is required to repair $ 2,000 of $ 2,000. The second opinion can be reasonable. But if you do so 10 or 100 times and all epidemiology says the same thing, you will probably need a new transmission.
Among health experts, he believes that there is little difference between doctors and researchers recommend to prevent measles. “Most pediatricians, most vaccine researchers are on the same page.” He said most parents have returned.
But they are not all. This does not mean that children want to go through measles.
Deseret News requested advice for those who wanted to avoid measles, not received vaccines from the Ministry of Health and Welfare of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Response:
- If possible, surround yourself at home, especially at home.
- If you are exposed to people with measles, consult your doctor about vaccination or drugs after exposure.
- Avoid big gatherings and congestion in areas with known onset and continuous transmission.
- Consider taking MMR vaccines at least a month before trying to get pregnant so that you do not harm your baby during pregnancy.
- If others are sick, they are far away.
If you think you or your child can have measles, it is recommended:
- It is far from home and as much as possible.
- If it is difficult to breathe or if the heat does not go down, pay attention.
- Call the clinic or provider in advance to inform you that you are concerned about measles to prevent other people from being exposed to the waiting room in the waiting room such as pregnant women or babies.
The parents of children who are not vaccinated, “can try to minimize exposure,” Madad said. “This includes avoiding the crowded indoor environment, especially during the onset, and to monitor local public health alerts from people with exposed individuals and people with symptoms such as heat, cough and rash.”
She said: But even if you take these measures, the risk still increases. We are not isolated and children can be exposed in everyday environments such as schools, plane and groceries. If there is a question or concern about vaccination, it is recommended to talk to the medical service provider. “
Gottfredson said it was impossible to live in a bubble, but immunity could help. This is found to have natural immunity due to the previous infections surrounded by sufficient vaccinated people (mid 90%) or the pre -infection of protective barriers. He added that the minority of those who were vaccinated did not make antibodies, so they are still vulnerable to measles.
For those who do not have immunization to avoid measles, the only definite way is to be around the immunity, he said. If the virus is vaccinated or travels to a community that is not naturally protected, it is unlikely to stop.
“It’s helpful to mask a really good mask, but the average tank that buys the N95 mask from Amazon doesn’t necessarily have to be protected from measles.”
Dangerous disease
It is rarely studied as MMR vaccine according to GottFredson. “This has been around for decades. At this point, we have published a lot of research on a lot of information and its safety.”
But he surprises his parents by acknowledging that there is a possibility of vaccine injuries. “That can happen. It’s really rare.” The vaccine can cause allergic reactions or other complications. One worrying danger is Guillain-Barré syndrome, and the immune system accidentally attacks the peripheral nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. The National Institute of Health said that the possibility of measles vaccine can firm rare syndrome is “statistically significant.” The danger is greater when you actually go through measles.
Measles lead to real risks. Disease Control and Prevention Center One in four children who signed a measles should be hospitalized. One out of 1,000 people with measles dies among the respiratory and neurological complications among one and three of them. One of 1,000 people cause acute encephalitis and the virus infects brain tissue. GottFredson said, “If you survive, you often aren’t the same neurological.
The CDC said that encephalitis caused by measles can cause intellectual or hearing impairment. More common complications include pneumonia and ear infections. A few years after the infection, one out of 10,000 measles is acute sanctuary, rare but fatal degenerative neurological state, leading to memory loss and seizure. GottFredson said, “You can’t stop it.
If the community rate of vaccine absorption drops, measles occurs, GottFredson, who has a pattern worldwide. If the community is vaccinated again, measles disappear.
His advice for the family? Consult a medical service provider. But he admits that it is a true problem for many people who are inappropriate for primary care. He said it was more difficult to ask questions or to discuss constructive.
GottFredson said, “Be patient with your family with your family. They want to love their children and do their best.”
