Preventive vaccinations - protection against diseases
13.04.2021
At the moment, there are few methods in the arsenal of modern medicine that can effectively protect the body from infections. Chief among them are preventive vaccinations, which make it possible to create protection in the human body against the causative agent of infection.
Unfortunately, currently there are no vaccines for all infectious agents, but these methods of protection have been created and successfully applied to many of them - against tuberculosis, hepatitis, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, rabies, poliomyelitis, rubella, chickenpox, mumps, measles, etc.
In the process of vaccination, a specific immunity to infection is created by imitating the infectious process. For this, various types of vaccines are used. After vaccination, as well as after an illness, immunity can be lifelong, persistent, or persist for a certain time.
The World Health Organization is convinced that as long as this or that infection is wandering around the world, one cannot do without preventive vaccinations. Vaccine prophylaxis is deliberate infection with weakened forms of microbes. In this case, the body produces antibodies, as in a mild form of the disease, "arming" the person with them, so that henceforth he was invulnerable. The more people in the world will have persistent immunity to a certain infection, the less chances for the disease to continue to exist, and even more so for an epidemic.
First of all, such protection is "put up" around children, whose immune forces are not yet strong enough to withstand the aggression of the external environment. Further, other age groups of the population are also covered, the so-called immune layer is formed, where microbes have no refuge and they die.
Thus, vaccine prophylaxis is an attack on a disease first and an attack up to the complete elimination of the enemy. All countries of the world consider vaccine prevention a matter of national importance. After all, we are talking about national security!
In total, many vaccines have been created in the world for more than 40 diseases. However, the vaccination schedule is constantly being revised and depends on the epidemic situation, as well as the appearance of new vaccines.
It should be noted that recently there has been a favorable change in the attitude of parents to vaccination. This will enable us to fight many “preventable” infections, which will certainly help improve the health of children.
