Introduction

The social topic I have chosen to investigate is child immunisation in New Zealand.

I decided on this topic to both increase my knowledge and to gain a deeper understanding of the issues that surround child immunisation.  As a teacher, working alongside young children, their parents and whānau, I feel that I should be aware of these issues in order to have an informed understanding of decisions made by parents and whānau around child immunisation.
Researching this issue interests me with the prospect of finding and presenting informative facts that surround this topic, in particular the factors that determine decisions made for/or against immunisation.

  1. Hi Helen, I think this is a hot topic. I know people who refuse to immunise their children so what you find out will be interesting for me !!

  2. This is a topic that can polarise people. It will be very interesting to investigate the evidence. In particular, the research completed in the 1970s which was hugely influential and created the myth about autism. The researcher responsible has now been deregistered. Cheryl.
