A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease, according to World Health Organisation. Vaccine is weakened or killed form virus or microbes that cause epidemic. Oxford dictionary sates that epidemic is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time. Vaccine that injected into the body will trigger our own immune system to produce antibody. Vaccination is done by several time to make the body well prepared to fight when the real virus invaded our body. Our immune system will ‘remember’ the virus if we were vaccinated with that kind of virus. In ancient time, there was so many people killed by epidemic. Todays, with the invention of vaccine, people’s life are now grasp …show more content…
For example, Polio disease which is a highly infectious viral disease that can cause irreversible paralysis (according to World Health Organisation) killed many people’s life before the Polio vaccine came out. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Polio reached a peak in the United States in 1952, with more than 21,000 paralytic cases. Later, with the published of the vaccine, there is fewer occurrence of polio. With the published of vaccine, some diseases were eradicated. Children nowadays no longer vaccinated smallpox vaccine due to the eradicated of the disease. Diseases such as Diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus influenza had been decreases by 99% in United State according to the data from Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. People nowadays can stay away from sickness with the invention of vaccine. With the invention of the technology, there are a lots of vaccine in the market for the vaccine-prevented diseases. Vaccine lower the risk to get serious diseases and help us keep our family health. This is because, if you get sick, your family have to take care of you and may be infected by the disease also. Thus, vaccine is …show more content…
The research and development for a new vaccine is a long and complicated process. Usually a vaccine takes 10 to 15 years before it can publish to public. It involved series of experiment on animal and finally a small group of human for the trial vaccination. The general stages of the development cycle of a vaccine are Exploratory stage, pre-clinical stage, clinical development, regulatory review and approval, manufacturing and quality control. Clinical development involved three-phase process. In Phase I, trial vaccine is given to a small group of people while during Phase II, the vaccine will be given to the people have the similar health characteristics where the disease that targeted to cure. Then, the vaccine is given to large scale of people to track for its efficacy and safety. Over a period of time, if the vaccine does not cause serious side effects, the vaccine is eligible to apply to the regulatory authorities to be publish to public. The side effect is continuously tracked by Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. Any serious side effects report from the use of United State licensed vaccine will be analyse by Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. A vaccine will only publish when it passed all the steps and does not cause any serious side effects. Thus, vaccine is safe because it will only publish to the public.
Vaccine can bring potential side effect. Vaccine can bring side effects that is from mild symptom to
Problem Immunization is the process when an individual is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, normally through vaccination (WHO, 2015). Individuals of all ages should receive a shot in order to better protect themselves and the individuals around them. In 1809, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to require an immunization policy, since then the entire nation now has federal policies implementing vaccinations to protect the public health (Martindale-Hubbell, 2015). However, these policies are typically generated for the younger generation of the population. Federal Immunization policies in the United States are implemented solely to ensure the safety of oneself and the society as a whole.
One of the many benefits of vaccinating children is it saves them from life-threatening diseases. The many diseases which children are immunized from include, Measles, Mumps, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (whooping cough), Polio, Hepatitis A and B and much more. Long before the time of vaccines, there was a shocking rate of deaths that occurred worldwide.
This is the aim of this report. Through analytical research presented in this report I have come to the conclusion that vaccines are not only crucial and beneficial but that everyone who is eligible should be vaccinated, as that
Since infants and young children are very vulnerable and lack independence, healthy physical development is dependent on protecting them from outside harms. Vaccines protect not just the child being vaccinated but also other children who may not be vaccinated. Some children cannot receive vaccines due to health conditions, such as child with allergies or a deficient immune system. These children are at risk for catching devastating illnesses when they come in contact with unvaccinated children. When parents have their children vaccinated it is good for the health of both the vaccinated children and other children in the
A vaccine is defined as any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease, usually employing a harmless form of the disease agent, as killed or weakened bacteria or viruses, to stimulate antibody production. Essentially a biological
Each year in the U.S., 50,000 adults die from a disease that could have easily been prevented if they simply got vaccinated. Also, most vaccines are for deadly diseases; if someone neglects getting vaccinated, that makes them very vulnerable. Vaccines are a very safe way to prevent illness. In fact, each vaccine has to pass through a major inspection to make
There has always been resistance against vaccination, even when it was first developed by Edward Jenner. Despite the millions of deaths that been avoided through the use of vaccines, people have always found ways to criticize this medical breakthrough. However, it was not until recently that the fear of vaccinations began to re-emerge and confuse the minds of the general population. With the growing concerns about vaccinations, parents are becoming more reluctant in vaccinating themselves and their children. Consequently, infectious diseases that were once contained (such as measles) are now resurfacing as outbreaks.
Introduction Significance of Vaccinations The significance of vaccinations is the impact on public society. The spread and prevention of disease affect the public’s safety making it a controversial issue.
Vaccines are like traffic lights; they ensure the safety of the public, be in heavily crowded areas, like schools, or densely trafficked roads. Traffic lights only work when all people follow the rules. If a car runs a red light, the car runs the risk of killing innocent pedestrians who are complying with the prescribed rules. Vaccines, if not utilized by most people, are ineffective. Even though some parents are concerned over the safety of vaccines, children who go to public schools should not be granted exemptions because vaccines are necessary to prevent outbreaks, children who do not receive vaccines are at risk of disease, and medically compromised children rely on vaccines to prevent disease.
Vaccines have come a long way from the barbaric variolation treatments for smallpox in the 15th century CE in China. Treatment for smallpox remained the same until Edward Jenner developed the first vaccination for smallpox in 1796. Nations began issuing laws to force people into vaccinations. England began the first vaccination act in 1840 and the United States court rulings date back to the 1900s when compulsory vaccination for smallpox outweighed the individual right to privacy.

Globally, vaccination has proved as a tremendous asset in curbing the spread of communicable diseases. Communicable disease such as smallpox, which is highly infectious, was thoroughly eradicated in the 20th century with the help of vaccines. Other notorious contagious diseases, such as measles, polio and rubella are also in the brink of eradication in this modern age through the widespread application of vaccines. By implementing mandatory vaccination, it’s not impossible to achieve that due to vaccination preventing new human carriers of disease from appearing. As vaccination prevents an individual from contracting a particular disease, the individual will not be a carrier for that disease, thus limiting the spread of the disease to others.
Vaccinations can simply save lives. It gets the immune system stronger to prevent viruses to affect our body. Vaccines do not make the body sick. Although, they do put a tiny dose of the disease in the person to strengthen the immune system to prevent an attack of a stronger dose of the disease. It is better to not have to deal with the disease at all than trying to deal with it after you
Vaccinations can help prevent future diseases or viruses in the upcoming life of a child. According to an article from vaccines.gov, “Because of advances in medical science, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children, have been eliminated completely and others are close to extinction- primarily due to stay safe and effective vaccinations.” Throughout the years more viruses have been prevented due to vaccinations in children. There has also been an increase in the amount of children that get vaccinations at a young age.
Antibodies counteract with the vaccine and fight off the viruses. Regularly the immune system produces antibodies to fight off viruses, which are cells the immune system produces. 2. The immune system can later in the future recognize the same disease if it comes back and will automatically form antibodies. Unfortunately, there still many diseases for which it is impossible to create vaccines.
