問題詳情
(三) Undeniably, parents and pediatricians have one thing in common, that is, to helpchildren stay healthy. However, sometimes some of us may be in a position to objectto getting our children vaccinated. That is the so-called “vaccine controversy,” whichis seemingly contradictory to our wish if children do get sick because of this.To prevent children from contracting such severe contagious diseases as polio,smallpox and measles, they are advised to receive vaccines on a basis of a vaccinationschedule recommended by pediatricians. But some parents and healthcare providers,with little experience of going through the catastrophic impact of those diseases, maynot urge children to get the shots since they are convinced vaccination shots are notsafe and that some developmental impairments are related to vaccination. With thefact that those diseases have nearly been eradicated in the 21stcentury, these parentswould rather run the risk of getting their children infected with the disease than getimmunization. The dread for disease has transformed into the suspicion of vaccinesafety. Once a life-saving advance, vaccines are now often in dispute and havebecome a stumbling stone of their final triumph.In spite of the remaining distrust, parents and pediatricians should work hand inhand on this matter. The anxiety of those who are skeptical about vaccination shouldnot be neglected. Pediatricians should offer exhaustive, up-to-date scientificinformation, helping parents understand that imperfect as vaccines are, serious sideeffects are few, and that apparently the benefits outdo the risks. On the other hand,parents should acknowledge that it isn’t a sensible idea to consult “Dr. Google” orcelebrities whose main intention is to promote their products or books. Neithershould they pursue the latest trend in the neighborhood. Instead, they should take intoconsideration the detailed scientific evidence and then make an ultimate decision.After all, both parents and pediatricians care about children’s health and welfare.They should treat each other like partners instead of enemies.
