Child-Teen Vaccines

 

        We are now living in the world that Covid-19 vaccines are the only hope for our lives to be safe. But first, what is Vaccine? A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. Medical scientists are doing their best to make and reproduce these vaccines to be distributed around the world. This vaccine will inject to human and probably will have a lesser risk to get infected by the Covid-19 Virus. Is it really this vaccine that can stop the ongoing pandemic?

Side effects of these vaccines are always present and we can’t do anything. Different countries produced their own vaccines, each of these have their own features and side effects. Every one of us must get vaccinated for this pandemic to stop and we can go back to our normal lives. Even if we have these vaccines that already made, it can’t stop the pandemic; unless we get vaccinated it will prevent the spreading of the virus. But we must always keep in mind that these vaccines are temporary, it cannot make us immune to the Covid-19 Virus. We must always continue to follow the safety health protocols and always wear mask and wash our hands.  Research is still ongoing how these vaccines can help us from the threat of our health.  Keep in mind that these vaccines have their own feature and side effects so if we are planning to get vaccinated, we must seek information first about the vaccine that we are going to inject to ourselves. Getting vaccinated is not easy as it seems. It is a very hard decision to do because these vaccines are new to us. But how vaccine work? How they can help us and in our body? Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body. Newer vaccines contain the blueprint for producing antigens rather than the antigen itself. Regardless of whether the vaccine is made up of the antigen itself or the blueprint so that the body will produce the antigen, this weakened version will not cause the disease in the person receiving the vaccine, but it will prompt their immune system to respond much as it would have on its first reaction to the actual pathogen. Some vaccines require multiple doses, given weeks or months apart. This is sometimes needed to allow for the production of long-lived antibodies and development of memory cells. In this way, the body is trained to fight the specific disease-causing organism, building up memory of the pathogen so as to rapidly fight it if and when exposed in the future.


                I hope every one of us can have the vaccines and for this Covid-19 pandemic will end. We must always be aware on what are we doing because this vaccines cannot get give us immunity. We can prevent the spread of the virus if we always follow the safety health protocols and together, we can end this pandemic.
