Abstract

If someone in home have COVID 19 positive with no symptoms or mild symptoms and not at high risk for severe disease, usually they can be treated safely at home. The people may require care for high risk illness or dead from COVID 19, cannot be provided at home. The high risk includes, age 60 years and older, pregnant, who are obese and have chronic medical conditions, people with suppressive conditions such as HIV/AIDS, a person receiving chemotherapy or steroids and people with cancer. While taking care of the positive person we should have aware about precaution methods. That would help us to protect ourselves from infections. Keep the one meter distance from sick person. If possible, open the window to all the fresh air into sick person room. Use the kerchief or tissue paper, while coughing or sneezing. Whenever towels are not available bend the elbow and do coughing and sneezing on that. Clean the hands frequently by using hand wash solution or hand rub solutions. Vaccination should be done. Also, should wear medical mask to protect from infection and to prevent the spread of infection. Evaluate the symptoms of COVID 19 regularly if you see any these dangerous sign like breathing difficulty, chest pain, and confusion, loss of speech or mobility immediately call for healthcare providers. The most successful public health measure is vaccination. But, that perceived as unsafe and unnecessary by growing number of individuals. The main threat of successful vaccination program is consider as lack of confidence. Vaccine hesitancy is believed to be responsible for decreasing vaccine coverage and an increasing risk of vaccine – preventable disease. This is the overview of the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy. In the developed world, we want to concentrate the apparent causes for vaccine hesitancy. Then look at determinant of individual decision – making about vaccination. The implication of Anti – vaccination is lower vaccine acceptance rates and the increase vaccine – preventable disease outbreaks and epidemics. Parents perceived as vaccination is unsafe and unnecessary but vaccine is recognized as one of the most successful public health measures. In this, we will determinants the parent decision making about vaccination and provide an overview of the history of anti-vaccination.
