Global Health Comparison Grid Template
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease in 2019 and the subsequent declaration by the World Health Organization as a public health concern led to a great deal of panic, anxiety, and the implementation of practices and restrictions intended to control the disease’s transmission and the potentially fatal effects it could have. Over 4.5 million individuals have lost their lives as a result of the virus, which has killed over 300 million people so far. The United States of America has the highest number of both deaths and illnesses. Vaccinating populations and individuals who are considered to be at a high risk is an important part of the effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic (WHO, 2021). The lack of vaccine policy in many countries, including the United States, has had an effect on the number of people who have gotten their vaccinations since they were introduced about a year ago. The purpose of this comparison matrix is to evaluate vaccination policies in the United States and Mexico, particularly in relation to COVID-19. This is in accordance with the recommendations made by the World Health Organization for countries to get a herd immunity and to stop and prevent the spreads of infectious diseases.

| Global Healthcare Issue |
Immunization/ Vaccination for COVID-19 |
|
| Description | The international or global perspective on vaccines and immunization has always differed from one nation to another. The World Health Organization has always encouraged and implored its member states to embrace vaccines and immunizations as means of preventing infectious diseases and reducing their adverse effects if contracted. Vaccination for COVID-19 remains a global issue as the world focuses on stopping the spread of the infectious disease first detected in a wet Chinese market. Assignment: Global Health Comparison Matrix | |
| Country | United States
|
Mexico |
| Describe the policy in each country related to the identified healthcare issue | While no federal policy exists on vaccinations in the country, with each state having its own requirements for children getting into public schools, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated several mandates at all levels of government (CMS, 2021). Policies by the federal government include latest revised ones requiring employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 disease. | In Mexico, no mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policies exist but efforts focus on ensuring that more individuals get the jab. Like the U.S. the country has no vaccine policies, except for children enrolling in schools. |
| What are the strengths of this policy? | All states allow exemptions from vaccines on medical grounds while 45 allow on religious reasons. Another 15 states exempt people from vaccines on philosophical or personal beliefs. Subsequently, the rollout of COVID-19 jab also follows these guidelines with some states relaxing vaccination mandates and requirements (CMS, 2021). | Mexico allows exemption from vaccination on religious and medical grounds. However, personal reasons cannot enable one to get exemption from vaccination (Jimenez & Gandy, 2021). The country’s efforts to vaccine against COVID-19 follows these trends as it is not mandatory. |
| What are the weaknesses of this policy? | Individuals and parents continue to express concerns about the number of vaccines that one should get apart from the COVID-19 jabs. The safety of these vaccines remains an issue of concern (The White House, 2021b). The population requires effective education to understand the impact of the vaccines. | Vaccine-preventable diseases account for significant mortality and morbidity in developing nations like Mexico. The enforcement of increased vaccination against infectious diseases and even COVID-19 remains a challenge due to funding and infrastructural challenges (2020). |
| Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the specified global health issue. (Be specific and provide examples) | Social determinants of health impact routine immunization for children; especially among lo-income populations. For instance too reduce mortality and morbidity associated with vaccinations, the needs of different populations must be met, especially access to better living conditions and information. | Immunization obstacles reduce the rates of vaccination. For instance, lack of awareness on the importance of COVID-19 jab and other vaccines can impact herd immunity. |
| How has each country’ government addressed cost, quality, and access to the selected global health issue? | The U.S. continues to address cost, quality and access through policies like the Affordable Care Act and using legislations as well as executive orders by the Biden administration (The White House, 2021). These include vaccine mandates to enhance the rate of vaccination against CIOVID-19. Assignment: Global Health Comparison Matrix
|
Mexico experiences funding challenges making it difficult for health populations to access vaccines on time. For instance, most of its COVID-19 vaccines are donated by nations like the U.S. and the World Health Organization under the COVAX facility (WHO, 2020). |
| How has the identified health policy impacted the health of the global population? (Be specific and provide examples) | The existing policies on vaccination in the U.S. impacts global population’s health as they ensure that as many Americans as possible get vaccines, especially the COVID-19 vaccines.
|
Exemptions impacts the ability of the world to ensure that all eligible persons get vaccinated to control the spread of COVID-19 disease (Jimenez & Gandy, 2021). |
| Describe the potential impact of the identified health policy on the role of nurse in each country. | Policies on vaccinations and immunizations impact the role of nurses in the U.S. as they are health promoters and educators (Corless et al., 2018). As primary care providers, they offer education and interact with patients to encourage them to take vaccines. | Low rates of vaccinated individuals, especially against COVID-19, exposes nurses to life threatening diseases that affect their ability to offer quality care interventions (Jimenez & Gandy, 2021). Because of these challenges, they cannot execute their roles well and meet care needs. |
| Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. (Be specific and provide examples) | The issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies as it implores providers to get training on management of COVID-19 and its effects on patients (The White House, 2021). Training on public health emergencies is essential to address increased rates of infection.
|
Global health issues like pandemics and epidemics affect local health organizations and policies in Mexico by requiring the government to develop responsive policies to encounter adverse effects of infectious diseases and protect its population while providing high quality care. |
| General Notes/Comments | The U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic and need to vaccinate its population demonstrate efforts to tackle global health care issues (The White House, 2021b). The existing policies on vaccination should be altered to help the country and its population prepare for and tackle any future health emergencies. | Mexico continues to make efforts to access vaccines and offer to its population despite limited resources (Jimenez & Gandy, 2021). The vaccination policies in the country illustrate the need for a global approach to diseases by leveraging existing local resources. |
When you discuss a hypothetical negative health outcome, do you believe it will occur? Are you of the opinion that direct eye contact and intimate contact should be avoided?
If you believed these statements to be true, you would have difficulty practicing as a nurse. However, in certain societies, these are quite true beliefs. Cultural differences,
subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary practices, and a variety of other factors all contribute to the complicated environment that surrounds global healthcare challenges. Inability to recognize and account for these distinctions might result in a disconnect between practitioners and the population they serve.
This Assignment will study a global health issue and compare the United States’ and another country’s approaches to the issue.

Matrix of Global Health Comparisons
Your paper must be proofread. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
