Health Care Policy
Nurses do much more than treating ill patients. They promote public health and play a large role in preventing infectious diseases. Nurses give a lot of vaccines to patients to prevent any severe disease. Vaccination is one of the public policy which protects the individual from any life-threatening disease. Nurses are providing vaccination facility to patients at home and in hospitals. There are many diseases which can be prevented from vaccination such as influenza, whooping cough, hepatitis, measles, etc. The vaccination policy is helping a lot in curing many diseases and is helping a lot in saving money of people. People can cure many diseases if they are vaccinated. Nursing is playing an essential role in promoting vaccination in the communities by visiting their homes and making them aware of vaccination. They have the responsibility to be up to date on recommended routine vaccines (Milstead, 2019).
One of the most common diseases is influenza which can lead to hospitalization or even death to many people. Influenza infection can affect everyone differently because everyone has symptoms of flu according to the season, but millions are a victim of the flu every year. Seasonal flu vaccine should be performed annually to protect public from influenza (University of Washington School of Medicine, n.d). Vaccination has provided a lot of benefits to people including the risk of flu illness in people. The seasonal flu vaccines protect many people against influenza, and the research concluded that influenza would become more popular with time (CPR, 2019).
Kingdom's model can be utilized in policy development. Flu vaccines must be offered at different doctor's offices, pharmacies, clinics, and health departments. Every newborn child should be vaccinated. Nurses should provide awareness among people to at least vaccine once in a year to cure this disease.
