Vaccination Journals

Injection of a dead microbe so as to stimulate the system against the microbe, thereby preventing disease. Vaccinations, or immunizations, work by stimulating the system , the natural disease-fighting system of the body. The healthy system is in a position to acknowledge invading bacteria and viruses and produce substances (antibodies) to destroy or disable them. Immunizations prepare the system to keep off a disease. To immunize against viral diseases, the virus utilized in the vaccine has been weakened or killed. To only protect against bacterial diseases, it's generally possible to use alittle portion of the dead bacteria to stimulate the formation of antibodies against the entire bacteria. Vaccinations also are called vaccines, immunizations, needles, or shots.Vaccinations work by boosting the immune system's ability to fight certain infections. The vaccination teaches your child's system to acknowledge and fight specific germs in order that once they are exposed to them, he or she features a much lower risk of getting sick.Your child's immune system responds to the antigens (bits of germs that have been weakened or killed) in the vaccine by making antibodies to fight the germs (each antibody is "trained" to fight a selected germ) and memory cells to recollect the germs just in case they encounter them within the future.
