THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATION FOR PREVENTING DISEASES RELATED TO WOMEN'S HEALTH

Abstract

It is important that parents/guardians understand the importance of childhood vaccines to ensure adherence to the vaccination schedule. Therefore, this study sought to understand parents' opinions about the importance, risks and benefits of childhood vaccination through a method that follows a qualitative, descriptive approach and the study population was made up of 24 parents and guardians who attended the clinic and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and evaluated using thematic analysis. This study found that the people interviewed had a high level of knowledge on the subject of vaccination, prevention of infectious diseases, and their awareness of the safety and effectiveness of this method and its importance for their children, improved immunization. Our analysis revealed that some people have difficulty vaccinating their children. However, this does not appear to negatively affect parental/guardian duty laws, as parents/guardians are concerned about the well-being of their children. In addition to providing guidance on the importance, safety, effectiveness and possible side effects of vaccination, healthcare teams must plan activities to address the challenges associated with vaccination. This has the potential to increase adherence to immunization regimens and, ultimately, improve the quality of immunization.
