A Comparison Between Dominica and the United States

When looking at the percentage of children at the age of 1 immunized in the country of Dominica, a higher percentage of children are vaccinated against diseases such as measles, diphtheria, and hepatitis B than the United States. I also found these trends were very consistent within the past couple of years when researching this data on the World Health Organization website. As a future pharmacist able to immunize, I congratulate health care providers in Dominica. Being able to administer these vaccinations are extremely crucial in preventing the bacterial and viral toxins as causation of these communicable diseases.
