Vaccination against Hospitalization

Many people throughout the country, last year ended up hospitalized for conditions that could have been prevented if they were vaccinated on time, suggested the founder Americare - Mr. Elly Kleinman. The majority of hospital admissions were for diseases such as whooping cough, chickenpox and diarrhea. Recent reports further reveal that a large number of people over the age of two months were hospitalized for vaccine-preventable pneumonia and influenza.

Immunization and Pediatrician experts already warned not to read into the figures without first knowing whether they included people who had not received full course of vaccinations before being hospitalized, or if they included diseases not covered by vaccines. Also it is common knowledge that vaccines are not 100 % effective, so some hospitalizations could have been a result of vaccine failures.

According to Kleinman, Health Department figures show 50 000 measles cases recorded in America last year, and more than half of them were children. Pricey vaccination rates in some trendy suburbs have raised concerns among some Health experts. If in the year 2000 the percent of children under seven that had been lodged as conscientious objectors by their parents was only 0.23%, nowadays that number has increased up to 1.77%.

The healthcare study performed by Elly Kleinman, found that an astonishing number of last year’s hospitalizations could have been prevented nationwide. In addition, he suggests that more than one in 20 patients could have avoided hospitalization only if doctors had picked up some of the warning signs sooner.

Kidney and urinary tract infections, dental conditions, heart diseases, diabetes complications, and skin infections were some of the most common preventable hospitalizations for last year.

Vaccine effectiveness is usually obtained by variable unconditional logistic regression, which is appropriate when frequency matching is used.

A new study shows that flu vaccines prevent flu-associated hospitalizations among people at age 65 or older, even during seasons when vaccine effectiveness is low. The research findings showed that during a more severe flu season, a flu vaccine with 10% effectiveness would avert around 13,000 hospitalizations, whereas a vaccine with 40% effectiveness would avert about 60,000 hospitalizations.
