Vaccines are considered an essential part of childhood health and they are seen so
important that most medical health insurance companies will even offer them with little to no out of pocket expense to their insured. The reason of course is to keep the children in the U.S. healthy, or so everyone believes.
One very important thing to keep in mind is that men and women living in other countries are in much greater need of the vaccines that are routinely given to U.S. children every day. In the United States children are given good water supplies and food supplies. They don't drink the water that they clean their clothing in or bathroom in and the chances of individuals getting these diseases in the United States is significantly low.
While the medical community is investing a great deal of time and money coming up with a greater variety of vaccines and offering them to different individuals across the board it seems a tad pointless when they could be spending their time offering up foreign countries the vaccines that are currently on the market to help begin to eradicate these disease not just in America but throughout the entire world. Once these diseases are eradicated then their will be no longer a need for such vaccines and then medical professionals can go on to addressing other more serious health problems such as cancer for example.
Cancer might not be a significant concern to doctors simply because it's not contagious, but someone needs to take a closer look at where cancer is coming from and why it's plaguing so many in the U.S. Finding a cure for cancer is something that the medical community really needs to take a closer look at. And perhaps the answer lies not necessarily in finding a cure for it but in finding out where the problem is stemming from in the first place.
Routine vaccines might or may perhaps not have a great impact on the public health in the United States currently however by sharing the knowledge and vaccines we currently have available we could help free the world of at least some of the diseases that exist and would free up the medical community to take a closer look at health concerns such as cancer. Health should be something that should be available to all no matter where they live or how poor or rich they are.
