DMC HURON VALLEY-SINAI HOSPITAL Expecting Someone Expect the Best WHY IMMUNIZE James Gordon, M.D..FIDSA Infectious Disease Physician I have people ask me; with certain diseases on the decline is it really worthwhile to keep vaccinating our children The best way to answer that question is to think of the following scenario. Pretend you are bailing out a boat with a slow leak. The faster and harder you bail the quicker the boat empties. Now, you could say, “Good. The boat is dry now, so I can throw away the bucket and relax.” But the leak hasn’t stopped. Before long you would notice a little water seeping in, and soon it might be back up to the same level as when you started. T he Merle and Shirley harriS BirT hing CenT er a T dMC h uron Valley-Sinai hoSpiT al Unless we can “stop the leak” (eliminate the disease), it is important to keep immunizing - even if there are only a few cases of disease today. If we take away the protection given by vaccinations, more and more people will be infected and will spread disease to others. Essentially undoing the progress we have made over the years. To schedule a tour of the Merle and Shirley Harris Birthing Center at Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital, call (248) 937-5120. To schedule an appointment with one of our physicians, call (888) DMC-2500. • Beautiful, all private birthing suites, for labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) care • Anesthesiologists available 24 hours a day • Critical-care nursery including full-time neonatology service for infants with special needs • High-risk pregnancy, infertility and genetics services along with the experts, including Dr. Theodore Jones, a specialist in maternal and fetal medicine, at DMC Hutzel Women’s Hospital Children who are not immunized can transmit vaccine-preventable diseases throughout the community. Unvaccinated people can pass diseases on to babies who are too young to be fully immunized, people who can’t be immunized for medical reasons, people with compromised immune systems, or in children whose immunizations did not “take”. In the U.S., vaccines have reduced or eliminated many infectious diseases that once routinely killed or harmed many infants, children, and adults. However, the viruses and bacteria that cause vaccine-preventable disease and death still exist and can be passed on to people who are not protected by vaccines. During disease outbreaks, unimmunized children may be excluded from school or child care until the outbreak is over, both for their own protection and for the protection of others. It is important to discuss any concerns you have with a trusted healthcare provider or call the immunization coordinator at your local or state health department. Remember, your final decision affects not only the health of your child, but also the rest of your family, the health of your child’s friends and their families, classmates, neighbors, and community.
