Why is vaccination also called immunization?
The immunization was called vaccination because it was derived from a virus affecting cows (Latin: vacca 'cow'). Smallpox was a contagious and deadly disease, causing the deaths of 20–60% of infected adults and over 80% of infected children.
What does Immunisation mean?
Immunisation describes the process whereby people are protected against illness caused by infection with micro-organisms (formally called pathogens). The term vaccine refers to the material used for immunisation, while vaccination refers to the act of giving a vaccine to a person.
What is immunization and vaccination Class 9?
It is the capacity of the body to produce an immune response either naturally, or through vaccines. Such approaches develop immunity or resistance to a specific illness. Immunisation can be defined as the process by which a person is made resistant to a particular disease by the administration of a vaccine.
What is the purpose of immunization?
Immunizations, also known as vaccinations, help protect you from getting an infectious disease. When you get vaccinated, you help protect others as well. Vaccines are very safe. It is much safer to get the vaccine than an infectious disease.
WHO immunization definition?
Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infection, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection.
What are the disadvantages of vaccination?
Some vaccines cause a temporary headache, fatigue or loss of appetite. Rarely, a child might experience a severe allergic reaction or a neurological side effect, such as a seizure. Although these rare side effects are a concern, the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm or death is extremely small.
What is Immunisation example?
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine are examples. Killed (inactivated) vaccines are made from a protein or other small pieces taken from a virus or bacteria. The whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine is an example.
What are the types of Immunisation?
What Vaccines Do Kids Need?
- Chickenpox (varicella) vaccine.
- Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine (DTaP)
- Hepatitis A vaccine (HepA)
- Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB)
- Hib vaccine.
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- Influenza vaccine.
- Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR)
How did vaccination protect you?
Vaccines help reduce the risk of certain illnesses by introducing dead or weakened versions of disease-causing germs (bacteria or viruses) to the immune system. Vaccines protect vulnerable people in our community – such as very young children, the elderly, or those who are too sick to be immunised.
What type of diseases can be prevented through vaccination?
Vaccine preventable diseases currently include:
- diphtheria.
- tetanus.
- pertussis (whooping cough)
- poliomyelitis (polio)
- measles.
- mumps.
- rubella.
- haemophilus influenzae type b infections.
