dc.description.abstractOnce a problem is identified in healthcare, the goal is to improve health outcomes. A solution to the problem was created for future practice scholarship using evidence-based practice skills. On a macro level, nation-wide data has been published stating that “the rate of childhood immunizations completed during this pandemic has decreased significantly” (Daley, 2020). Versus on a micro level, the local health department has been running into some barriers since COVID-19 hitting the nation, of having the children population continue to be able to receive their scheduled immunizations (such as Hepatitis A or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)). Provide thorough education during the immunization wavier education sessions at the local health department to attempt to change the perceptions of parents/guardians regarding routine scheduled immunization compliance for their child/children 18 years of age or younger. There is a severe problem at hand that the author has identified. It needs to be addressed at a local level. If vaccine rates continue to decline currently, there will start to be a more significant concern for a decrease in HERD immunity, possibly leading to the measles or whooping cough outbreak, leading to another pandemic.en_US
