Childhood immunization, homoeopathy and community nurses.

Roden J.

The way for community nurse practitioners to promote medical childhood immunization to parents, is for them to become fully conversant with both alternative and traditional medical approaches to this issue. A brief overview of homoeopathy and its approaches to immunization is outlined highlighting the current debate for and against anti-medical and medical immunization. Arguments are put forward supporting medical immunization and the challenges this presents for nurses practitioners.
