Health Promotion Plan Presentation Script
Hello, and welcome. This presentation part of the educational sessions focuses on improving the rate of childhood immunization and ensuring that children are provided with the major vaccines before the age of six years. In the educational session, I will evaluate the outcomes of the educational session and the educational sessions towards the attainment of the agreed-upon SMART goals with the participants. I will also evaluate the outcomes of the educational system against the Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading health indicators on childhood immunization. Finally, I will conclude the presentation by recommending some changes that improve the alignment of the educational session with Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading health indicators.
Introduction
In recent years, observations and other research evidence have shown that children are growing more vulnerable to various preventable diseases. According to Landrigan et al. (2019), there is an increase in lethal communicable and non-communicable diseases among children are on the rise. A larger part of this growing vulnerability of children to diseases is linked to increased exposure to a number of pollutants. Research shows that over 940,000 deaths in children recorded in 2016 were linked to pollution (Landrigan et al., 2019). The increasing vulnerability of children to diseases requires the adoption of evidence-based disease prevention strategies. Of the available disease prevention methods in children, childhood vaccination is the surest method to reduce the risk of disease in children.

Childhood Immunization and Vaccination
Immunization has changed how people manage infectious diseases creating hope for the future of humanity and providing various benefits to human societies (Piot et al., 2019). As noted, it is the surest way to ensure that children are protected against the risk of diseases in the modern world. Immunization involves the use of vaccines to improve a child’s protective immunity. Immunization, therefore, fortifies the child’s natural immunity. Having your children receive all the suggested vaccines before the age of six can provide them with the needed protection against diseases, which ensures them a healthy life as a child and during adulthood. Therefore, vaccination can help prevent the loss of life during childhood and a healthy transition into adulthood. However: research on vaccination trends shows that the rate of unvaccinated children in the U.S. is fast-growing (Hill et al., 2019). This growing number of unvaccinated children has been linked to parents having concerns over the safety of vaccinations on their children, a lack of health coverage to support full childhood vaccination, as well as a lack of vaccine awareness, including the importance of full vaccination during childhood stages and the existence of support programs for vaccination (Hill et al., 2019).
Agreed-Upon SMART Goals for Childhood Immunization
Various SMART health goals were developed through consultations with the public regarding the issue of falling childhood immunization rates. The main agreed-upon goals were to improve the mapping of the rate of childhood immunization. Another goal was to research, identify, and implement solutions for barriers to childhood immunization in the United States. Additionally, the promotion plan for childhood immunization and vaccination was to design barrier-specific solutions towards improving childhood immunization that could be applicable in 12 months and identify community-level resources that could be used to support the campaign towards improving childhood immunization.
Educational Session Outcomes
This educational session is expected to achieve a number of outcomes. Firstly, the education level is expected to achieve an improved public awareness of the need for every child to be fully vaccinated before the age of 6 years. It is evident that children have a weak immune system for protection against diseases before the age of 6 and have varied immune responses, thus the need for vaccines to improve protection against diseases (Kapil & Merkel, 2019). Another intended outcome of this educational session is to improve awareness of the health risks associated with the lack of vaccination. This is expected to have as many people understand the risks associated with their children skipping essential vaccines during their childhood. The session will also seek to answer and address any questions and concerns over the safety of vaccines. Additionally, the educational session will create awareness of the available and accessible resources that support childhood vaccination that parents can utilize. A long-term outcome of this educational session is to achieve an improved rate of childhood vaccinations at the community level.
Evaluation of Educational Session Outcomes
The educational session outcomes will be evaluated using surveys, interviews, and observations using data from the population and participants. The educational session outcomes will be evaluated based on how well the education sessions have been aligned with the participant’s agreed-upon health promotion SMART goals. These will be measured based on the identified level of awareness of childhood immunization, the need for childhood immunization, and the benefits of childhood immunization at the community level. The evaluation will also consider the availability and accessibility of the various vaccines that have been approved and recommended for use in children below the age of 6. Additionally, the evacuation will also consider the levels of participation in childhood vaccination programs and awareness of the existing community resources for supporting childhood vaccination.
Education Session and Attainment of Agreed-upon SMART Goals
This education session is expected to help attain the agreed-upon SMART goals on childhood vaccination for several reasons. Misinformation, lack of knowledge, perceived discrimination, and fear contribute to vaccine hesitancy (Andrade, 2021). Research evidence shows that health education is an important tool in health care that is essential for motivating behavioral and belief changes (García-Toledano et al., 2022). Through the educational sessions, more community-level awareness of the need for full childhood vaccination is expected to be achieved. Additionally, the educational sessions are expected to address all concerns over the safety of the use of vaccination in children, which may be a reason for the rejection of childhood vaccines. Furthermore, the use of health education approaches leads to improved vaccine equity, which may further contribute to improved vaccine uptake and coverage (García-Toledano et al., 2022).
Aspects of Education Session That I Would Change
There are various changes I feel I can make to improve the education sessions as well as the outcomes of the educational sessions. The major change is in how the educational sessions are delivered. The major change may involve using an online social media platform which has a wider community reach. The use of social media platforms can provide efficient methods of mass community education as well as provide a referable resource for later review, as the social media platforms allow the recording and storage of educational sessions. Another change in how the educational sessions are delivered is the shift from face-to-face sessions to the use of online or prerecorded sessions, such as using campaign flyers for education and community awareness purposes. This approach may save on the costs of the education session systems and the time spent educating the community. Additionally, to achieve more sustainable and long-term outcomes, the educational system can focus on training community trainers who will continue to educate the community on vaccines.
How Changes Might Improve Future Outcomes
The changes made to the educational sessions can potentially improve future childhood vaccination outcomes in several ways. For instance, training community-level trainers creates a sustainable and long-term community health education and promotion program in which the trained trainers in the community will continuously provide health education focused on child vaccination. Using online and social media platforms and flyers will also increase the coverage of the educational sessions and create points references which can act as continued reminders of the need for and the available vaccines for children. Additionally, training trainers for community-level educational sessions will also improve the involvement of members of the community in health promotion for childhood vaccinations which may reverse the trends for unvaccinated children.
Healthy People 2030 Objectives for Childhood Vaccination
The goals of this educational session align with the Healthy People 2030 (HP 2030) objectives for childhood vaccination. The objectives of Healthy People 2030 related to childhood vaccination include improving the rate of vaccination as a general outcome. Specific objectives focused on childhood vaccination include the reduction of the number of children who do not get any of the recommended vaccines by the age of 2. The HP 2030 also seeks to maintain vaccination levels of MMR vaccine doses 1 and 2 and increase the levels of coverage for the DTaP vaccines by age 2. As a part of the overarching objectives, the HP 2030 also seeks to improve the health of the people, including the prevention of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature deaths, as well as improve equity in vaccine access and improve health literacy for better health outcomes (Healthy People 2030, n.d.). These objectives align with the educational session’s goals and objectives and can be used to guide the health promotion plan for childhood immunization and vaccination.
The Leading HP 2030 Health Indicators for Childhood Immunization
Healthy People 2030 has established numerous measurable objectives and leading indicators for health. The leading health indicators related to childhood vaccination include the rate of infant mortality, morbidity indicators, and life expectancy at birth. Other major indicators include access to health care, including the level of health disparities in childhood, as well as access to clinical preventive services such as vaccines.
Recommended Changes for a Better Alignment with Healthy People 2030
Several changes can be applied to the educational sessions to best align the HP 2030 objectives on childhood vaccination and the leading indicators. The main changes include using specifically conducted community research data and evidence to identify and determine priority needs related to childhood vaccination. Another change is to shift the education sessions from a general focus to focus on addressing the health disparities existing within the community that have an impact on access to childhood vaccinations as well as focusing on the marginalized community groups that are much affected by the health disparities. The educational sessions should also shift the goals from community focus to align with the set national goals on childhood vaccination.
Conclusion
Although many advancements have been made in health care and medicine, children are growing more vulnerable to diseases. Most of this vulnerability is linked to changes in climate and environmental pollution. As a point of relief, childhood immunization fortifies a child’s natural immunity and provides a guarantee of healthy living throughout childhood and transition to a healthy adult. As people, especially parents, are growing more concerned over the safety of vaccination in children, providing health education sessions backed with evidence can improve the rate of childhood vaccinations. Such educational sessions need to be problem-focused. In conclusion, training community trainers instead of using time-to-time education sessions can provide a sustainable source of community health education with better alignment with the HP 2030 objectives and improve future outcomes.

Introduction
Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, n.d.). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2030 prompts action in health services accessibility, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence prevention, maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse prevention, and tobacco use cessation or prevention.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (Flanders, 2018; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.
