This is what I wrote of Immunizations and some information I took from some website.
We know Immunizations are very important for all people in the world, and I want to talk about this topic because it is very important and there are many reasons of that. We know there were many people died in the past because there were not had some kinds of immunizations in that time. For example, there are some Smallpox vaccine in my country, and we did not have that kind of vaccinations. There died million people from that Variola disease. I remembered that problem when I was child, there was problem happened in the human body. That disease made red, small, lot circle in the body. In addition, we could not sleep from that disease, we were Itching our body. In that time people in my country put cream on the body to make it cool. Second example, meningitis vaccination is inflammation of the meninges caused by viral or bacterial infection and marked by intense headache and fever, sensitivity to light, and muscular rigidity, leading (in severe cases) to convulsions, delirium, and death . Immunizations protect people from diseases. I want to make compare between Saudi Arabia and U.S.A in this research. There are same and different information of Immunization in both countries. First, I will talk about Immunizations in Saudi Arabia, after that I will talk about Immunizations in U.S.A
Immunizations are free in Saudi Arabia, and people must take immunizations in Saudi Arabia. Immunizations were just free for people has Saudi Arabia nationality. The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has been saying Immunizations are free for people from Saudi Arabia and other countries in July 2016. There are some advantages when people take vaccinations, and there are some disadvantages if people not take vaccinations. For example, when Saudi people take Immunizations in Saudi Arabia, they can study free in public School without pay any cost. It is a good from financial, and it is a good to has health body. When you go to public hospital, you can take vaccinations, and you can see all doctors, and take medicine for free. There are 2259 public hospital in Saudi Arabia, and you can go to any one you want to help you. Saudi Arabia wants to stop the problem of the poliomyelitis, measles, and German measles.

A professional pediatric organization in Saudi Arabia that supports and supports the national schedule. It complements the schedule with 2 additional vaccines, the Hepatitis B vaccine, which is given on three doses (at birth, one month and six months after age). IAP MMR (measles, rubella mumps and vaccine) is recommended in about 15 to 18 months of age. It should be remembered that although measles may appear as a mild disease, it has a strong potential for congenital malformations in the fetus during early pregnancy.
The decision to use the latest vaccines, such as hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine, may differ between child practitioners and parents. The doctor can discuss its use for children. At present, these vaccines are not included in the routine immunization program in Saudi Arabia . While rational use should be based on cost, age of the child and parental concerns, exposure to the risks of the child and the doctor - the mother's decision.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) indicated that, in order to protect children and community groups against vaccine-targeted diseases and to prevent the transmission of certain infectious diseases and their serious complications, the vaccines were added to the new national immunization schedule, as well as a healthy community free of these infectious diseases and epidemics. In addition, the Ministry of Health states that it has routinely initiated a rotavirus vaccine, a vaccine against meningitis and a dose of vaccine against MMR for target groups at all stages of primary and health care in all regions of the Kingdom, governorates, villages and famine.
Furthermore, these vaccinations also include a vaccine against meningitis (associated with meningococcal quadriceps), which is given by intramuscular injection. The first dose is given at the age of 9 months and the second at the age of 12 months, the interval between doses should not be less than three months. A dose of MMR vaccine against this vaccine contains measles, mumps and rubella vaccines. It was added to the National Immunization Schedule, which is given at the age of 18 months, plus doses at the age of 12 months, and at school entry. The Kingdom is currently in the process of removing measles and rubella, the interval between doses at 12 months and at the primary level. Leading to the occurrence of most cases of measles before entering school.
