Description
An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations."</strong></em></p>
<p>-Blythe Danner, American Actress<br /> <br />Public health focuses on protecting and improving the human condition, and prolonging life. It necessitates public investment in education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention, among others. Public health agencies at both state and local levels are central to effective public health and health care systems. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such systems involve “all public, private, and voluntary entities that contribute to the delivery of essential public health services within a jurisdiction.”</p>
<p>Elected officials and law enforcement officers play an important role in the development and regulation of public health and healthcare policy. A number of public health professionals, strive every day delivering services to protect the health of our families and communities, whether working in hospitals, nursing homes, emergency management services, schools or mental health facilities. Volunteers from charitable and philanthropic organizations also contribute a lot to ensure that public health and health care goals are met in places where resource constraints might present impediments. CDC also places emphasis on the important role of youth development organizations, recreation and arts-related organizations in supporting public health.</p>
<p>CDC has formulated a set of 10 essential public health and health care services that provide the framework for determining how well a jurisdiction is doing at assessing the performance of its system. Broadly these fit under policy development, assurance, and assessment. They include monitoring the public’s health status, investigating and diagnosing health problems, public awareness, enforcing laws and regulations that support public health and health care efforts, assuring a competent workforce, and continuous research and innovation to keep abreast of health problems.</p>
In the additional resources section to the right is a collection of related public service narratives <em>"Ask me why I care,"</em>under <em>"Tell your story." </em>They were curated by the University of Nebraska at Omaha College of Public Affairs and Community Service in a Public Service Stories Project. Project Co-Directors are Dr. Mary Hamilton and Ms. Rita Paskowitz. The collection includes videos and <a href="http://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-public-affairs-and-community-service/community-engagement/pss-health-human-services.php"><strong>Suggested Assignments for Students</strong></a>.

Description
An account of the resource
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, in partnership with the Center for Disease Control, issued this poster to gently remind parents to vaccinate their children. Using figures from pop culture, this poster creates awareness by drawing the attention of adults and children alike.
The Center for Disease Control considers vaccines to be the greatest accomplishment of public health in the United States. It was the creation of the Salk polio virus vaccine in 1955 that prompted federally funded vaccination programs. Years later, in 1962, the Vaccination Assistance Act was established to help fund, purchase, and administer a wide range of childhood vaccines. Thanks to these efforts, smallpox has been completed eradicated and fewer and fewer people suffer the effects of diseases like measles and pertussis.
To encourage vaccination, public health officials reached out to parents through lively posters and other promotional advertisements. The campaign continues to this day, in an effort to quell concerns about vaccine effectiveness and safety. The Center for Disease Control stresses that although no vaccine is 100% safe or effective, they serve as our best defense in the battle against infectious disease. Licensing and testing measures are rigorous, taking up to 10 years or more, and safety is continually monitored through the FDA. Through the cooperation of public health officials and scientists, the CDC strives to improve safety, delivery, and effectiveness.
