The Importance of Vaccines
Vaccines are one of the most important inventions in human history. Thanks to them, many deadly diseases have been brought under control and millions of lives have been saved. Vaccines provide important protection not only in childhood but also in adulthood.
How do vaccines work?
Vaccines make the body immune to disease-causing germs. Vaccines containing weakened or killed germs, parts of the germ or proteins produced by the germ, enable the body to produce antibodies against the germs to protect against disease. This process ensures that the immune system is ready for a real infection. Click here to check on the health ministry website...
