Immunizations in other Countries

For this section, I took another apporach. When I researched about immunizations, they basically was saying the same this as the states. As I did a little bit more reseach I found and article talking about the dangers of being vaccinated in the different regions of Africa,  Eastern Europe, South America, and Asia. Reasons why it is not as safe because many of these places lack the resources they need to maiantain the health of children. Often times they have to reuse needles, and certain medicines are very limited. This has sparked an interest in me. I want to find ways o educate my peers so these children can get the proper health care. i am an advocate for health care at my school, so this should be a great investment.

IMMUNIZATIONS

Immunizations are very important in the United States. Working in a Pre K setting, our children must have a certain series of shots before the age of five. If they are not updated, they are not allowed to start school. In many cases, some children have to go back for updates, if parents fail to do this during the school year, their child has to sit the rest of the year out. Here is a funny story I like to share, I am afraid of needles, when I was in grade school I was a real convincing little child. My mother would faithfully take me to the doctor, and everytime I would get out of the shots that was needed. As the years passed, it was time for me to go to college, I had to get a physical before I went to school. All those shots that I put off, I had to get tehm all at once. My arms were sore. I had five shots in each arm, plus a tb shot. I will never do that again.

The wonderful Bith of Kelsy Richardson

I do not have any kids at the moment, but I have seen many births, and I must say that they are beautiful experience. I am going to talk about my birth, I have heard it over and over again. On August 18, 1981, my mother was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Baltimore, Md. She was in deep pain but she chose not to use any drugs, after all I was her third child. My dad anticipated the birth of his only girl. He asked the doctors how long will it take for me to arrive, they told him at least five hours. My father went outside to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves, why did he do that. When he came back to the room, my mother was gone, he started to frantic, screaming where was his wife. Well little did he know, as soon as he went outside to smoke the cigarette, I was born. Once he came back in, my mother was in the recovery room. Still to this day, I tease him about missing my birth.

Having a Baby in Germany

Germany Doctors do not communicate with their paitents, like American doctors do. If you have a question about child birth you have to request the specific information. Gemany doctors believe in holistic medicines such as acupunture. Insted of antibotics, the doctors or midwives will prescribe herbal teas or heopathic medicines. You must chose a midwife. During childbirth, some mothers are offered warm baths to ease the pain. Some hospitals in Germany induce labor if the mother is past her due date by 13 days, but most of the time the docotrs just wait till the baby comes.
