Child Development and Public Health
The topic I chose was immunization. The reason why I chose this topic is because so many children die everyday because they do not have access to vaccinations. UNICEF said "that there are more than 30 million children that are not immunized either because vaccines are unavailable, because health services are poorly provided or inaccessible, or because families are uniformed or misinformed about when and why to bring their children for immunization" (UNICEF). Less than $30. 00 a day it cost to immunize a child and prevent them from dying. This make me so sad that so many children die because their country does not have the funds or medicine. This a global issue. All children, should be immunized no matter where they live, their race or ethnicity.

it is very devestating how a child can die from lack of vaccinations. it is said that we as a country cannot afford to keep the children in it safe.
